Shinpei Ueno x Converse Skateboarding Breakstar Sk Ox Sneakers

Renowned Japanese skateboarder Shinpei Ueno is gearing up to unveil his highly-anticipated third collaboration with Converse Skateboarding, and this time it's the remarkable Breakstar Sk Ox sneaker.

The initial glimpses of this exciting collaboration showcase two stunning colorways: a sleek premium black leather option and a clean white leather alternative. Both versions boast an enhanced level of comfort with extra plush padding at the tongues and ankle collars. Ueno's attention to detail is evident, as he has made a striking change by reducing the lacelets to a minimalist four, creating a sleek and stylish look. The addition of waxed laces adds a touch of finesse, giving the sneakers what Ueno refers to as a "B-Boy finish."

The Breakstar Sk Ox sneakers also feature exquisite gold foil logos at the tongues, adding a touch of luxury to the design. The signature white rubberized toe caps and outsoles provide durability and ensure optimal performance on the skateboard. Ueno's unique touch can also be seen in the minimalist Converse logo plaques at the heel, which are elegantly presented in an all-white colorway.

Skateboarding enthusiasts and fashion-forward individuals alike can look forward to the release of the Converse Skateboarding and Ueno's Breakstar Sk Ox sneakers. These highly sought-after pairs will be available at select Japanese retailers and through Converse Japan's website starting October 20th. The sneakers will retail for ¥19,800 Yen or approximately $132 USD.
