The laces, which are arranged in a curve on the outside of the instep to reduce pressure on blood vessels, the greatest feature of the shoe, have been replaced with the "SPLC®" shoe lace lock system. This has made it easier to put on and take off, and has also dramatically improved the locking force and hold.

In addition, the sewing position of the shoe tongue is reversed from the original and adopted. This prevents problems with the shoe's upper from getting into the shoe when putting the foot into the shoe, reducing the ingress of rain and enhancing the waterproof performance.

Other functional details typical of the "Converse Camping Supply" will be added, such as a RUGGED OUTSOLE with excellent slip resistance and a STABLE MIDSOLE that provides both cushioning and stability.

Due to its ultra-unique design, this model may not be for everyone, but it will be enthusiastically welcomed by some core sneaker freaks. . Of course, from HOUYHNHNM's point of view, it is a model that has a lot to offer. The model will go on sale on July 14 (Fri.) at the following retailers.
