11 STYLES with ALL STAR COUPE

From the U.S. to Europe. European Converse that transcends continents and evolves with suppleness.

Have you heard of the "ALL STAR COUPE" that was born in 2018? It is a European-style "sneaker for adults" that takes its cue from Converse's "ALL STAR," a staple in American casual footwear. With the recent luxury street fashion and Y2K boom showing some signs of slowing down, we can't help but feel a "return to elegance" in this collection. We asked stylist Arata Kobayashi, who has collaborated with the All Star Kup to create a model that fits in with this mood, to suggest a coordinated look for each pair of shoes.

The key to getting out of the traditional style rut is in the feet. At first glance, white side gore shoes may seem like a hard sell, but in fact, they are an excellent match for traditional attire. They give the jacket style, which tends to be formal, a modern, relaxed impression. The minimalist side gore that glimpses out when you sit down creates an unmistakable, high-quality roughness.

Parisians who prefer mixed styles reinterpret the relationship between side-gore shoes and overalls as "All Star Kup. By choosing wool overalls instead of denim or other work-style items, the elegance of the two is more pronounced. The "Kup style" of Euro work expresses the strength and elegance of a working woman by combining a light knit with a jacket.
