nanamica Wraps the Converse All Star in GORE-TEX

For SS23, nanamica is celebrating Converse‘s 115th anniversary with a limited-edition All Star collaboration dressed in GORE-TEX fabrics.

Opting for a subtle approach, the upcoming pairs are found in dark navy uppers, one of the brand colors of nanamica, paired with recycled sail rubber soles. Instead of using the usual 12 oz canvas, the collaboration utilizes 100% 14 oz canvas with a rugged texture for the uppers. Ankle patches and eyelets are found in matching navy tones and the outer lining utilizes waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX fabrics. Rounding out the look are gusseted tongues for additional weatherproofing, REACT 2.0 insoles, and EVA heel cups. Shoelaces are available in two colors including dark navy and gray.

The nanamica x Converse All Star GORE-TEX Hi be available this March via nanamica’s online store and physical locations for ¥22,000 JPY (approximately $162 USD).
