Converse Japan – April 2010 Footwear Collection

That Converse First String even exists is a testament to how successful the Converse Japan lineup has been.  Think back 10 years ago; would you have ever expected Chuck Taylors to be issued in ultra-premium materials and colorways?  One Star’s Japanese arm proved the market was there to snatch up high-end variations on their classic models, and the April 2010 collection looks to have something for everyone.  You know you’re going to get a range of Chuck Taylor All Stars in both high and lowtops, with the Visvim-aping collared pair in black leather as the standout.  There are also several new Jack Purcell lows and the recently debuted Converse Trio CC loafer, in black or white.  Keep reading for a better look at all these and more after the jump.
