The UNDFTD x Converse All Star Hi ‘All Good TYO’ takes a simple grey canvas approach to portraying modern Tokyo, but unlike the city’s pinball machine of neon lighting, these joints hide their flashy appeal with a reflective upper construction.

And a ridged kickplate akin to the All Star Bosey seems like something from another era, though they just became available direct from Converse.The Converse All Star Modern is the brand’s most ambitious evolution of their iconic silhouette, so it was fitting that it also becomes the first Converse sneaker the Nike HTM innovation brains trust blesses with their signature treatment. Reinterpreting the refined theme of the All Star Modern with a premium twist, both colourways are constructed with beautiful goat leather and a breathable knitted tongue that retains the infused toecap. No bold branding here, the team decided to keep it classy and let the quality of the materials shine. Subtle HTM branding can only be found debossed on the heel pull and sitting on the metal aglets, and even more subtly printed on the strobel board underneath the sockliner. Let’s hope we see more HTM x Converse cross pollination in the future!
