Shinpei Ueno has a knack for capturing the essence of both worlds in the fusion of streetwear and classic sneakers. Recognized widely as the brains behind TIGHTBOOTH, his partnership with Converse has been nothing short of exceptional. As sneaker enthusiasts anxiously await the TIGHTBOOTH x Nike SB Dunk Low, Ueno offers a sublime teaser with a fresh take on the Converse Breakstar SK Ox.
This forthcoming pack is the perfect blend of sophistication and flair. Offered in premium tumbled leather, every sneakerhead has an option: a pristine White and a sleek Black. What makes these kicks stand out are the metallic gold accents that provide just the right amount of shine, found on the Shinpei Ueno and Converse co-branding atop the tongue and insole. Tonal stitching flows seamlessly with matching laces accentuated by golden aglets, encapsulating the shoe's luxurious feel. The signature rubber toecap, a staple of Converse design, appears in a clean white for both variants. The sole unit features a white vulcanized rubber to round off the design.
The Ueno x Converse Breakstar SK Ox Pack will release October 20, 2023, via Converse and select retailers in Japan. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at 19,800 Yen (approximately $132).
