Earlier this January, mastermind JAPAN teased photos of a brand new footwear collaboration with Converse Japan. This time around, the Japanese streetwear mainstay took to Instagram to offer a full look at the co-branded Chuck Taylor Hi models: the ALL STAR 100 HI and the ALL STAR 100 HI Z. Both pairs come in a dominating deep black color scheme and of course, are embellished with Honma Masaaki’s signature skull and bones insignia. When it comes to detailing, the kicks are given studs, chrome eyelets and rear-entry zippers.

Expect the 100 HI model to release at Amazon Kicks in Japan while the Z variant will see an exclusive rollout at BLACK SENSE MARKET this January 21. Both pairs will run you approximately $225 USD. Take a look at the photos above and let us know if they’re worth copping.
