Japanese Comic Book Sneakers

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Teams Up with Converse to Make Manga S

If you're anything like me, you'll love the latest shoe collaboration that sees long time sneaker provider Converse teaming up with Japanese comic book series Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

It's great to see clothing and footwear companies looking for new and inventive ways to step out of these boundaries and Converse has wonderfully done this by teaming up with the iconic Japanese comic book series entitled Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Japanese comic books, otherwise known as manga, have been around for quite some time and their look and even the way you're meant to read them is far different than any of North America's graphic animated productions. The great thing about these kicks is that Converse has embraced as well as used the eye-catching imagery for this creation that comes with a custom box and cool hanging Jojo emblem.
