Converse Japan’s 2009 March releases are seen here as themes seen in previous months continue on. The “Expo Nippon” theme which highlights various Japanese traditional crafts is seen once again with the Arita-yaki One Star Ox based on the special regional pottery styles. A new theme includes the “Expo Okinawa” narrative. The Okinawian people have lived alongside various American military installations which has molded the island’s unique culture. The Expo Okinawa releases include models based on the prefecture’s flower as well as various iconic food chains. Other non-themed releases include a Jack Purcell Slip-On and a wrinkled patent leather All Star Hi. These will be releasing at various Japanese Converse dealers this month.

    ahh you have to buy them from Japan because they are japanese. Converse japan is the only part of the converse business that isn’t owned or run by nike so their releases are completely different and are made in different factories.

    I love these Converse so much. Why do we have to buy them in Japan?

    I haven’t been a fan of some of Converse’s more recent releases, but I’m loving some of these! IThe collection is a gorgeous mix of both styles and materials that should mean there’s something for everyone.

    Personally I think 2009 is going to be a great year for Converse – especially if their releases continue in a same style to these ones!
