The impact of the Converse x Missoni project can be felt through the now widespread use of intricate patterns on all kinds of sneakers, even in-house projects from the One Star. These new Converse First String Jack Purcell Johnnys have been dubbed ‘Kasuri’ for their resemblance to the Japanese weaving technique combining fibers dyed to create patterns, each featuring a staticky mix of neutral shades atop the classic ‘smile’ shelltoe sole. Hightops are white on the bottom and lows are gum, which implies how much your wardrobe choices frame how these are perceived once you grab a pair or two from Kith.
