We are very pleased to present to you the latest installment in the on-going collaborative series between Converse and Hiroshi Fujiwara, with the model used of course being the Chuck Taylor Low.
Hiroshi Fujiwara is one of the major figure-heads in the ura-hara movement in the district of Harajuku in Tokyo, and with his fine eye for design and detail, everything he works on seems to be hugely successful. Whether it be his various clothing & bag lines over the years or the multiple collaborations with Nike and Converse under the Fragment Design umbrella.
This is the third time Hiroshi has worked with Converse on the classic Chuck Taylor, and it is possibly the best version to date. By very subtly changing the colour-blocking of the shoe, giving it a tonal toe-cap, he really revitalized the silhouette which has remained relatively unchanged for decades. This is all capped off by the ever-present Fragment logo at the heel. With the previous versions being Black and then Red, Navy was chosen this time around and is a welcome addition. Navy seems to be the colour of the season, being that it so versatile, I can imagine these looking great with a pair of khaki chino pants, whether it be in a casual or more formal outfit due to the slim profile of the shoe.
Something else that impressed me about these shoes was the size of the insole used, which is definitely a welcomed addition to the classic shoe to give it that extra bit of comfort which is very noticeable when you try them on.
