Ribbon-Accented Footwear Designs

Converse Launched the All Star Ribbon and It is Adorable

Footwear brand Converse releases the All Star Ribbon just in time for the summer months. Dropping in stores across Japan in July 2018, the casual footwear silhouette boasts a carefree and adorable aesthetic. The model is a crossover between the classic Converse low-top sneakers and a slip-on. While the bow adds a nice aesthetic boost to the design, the overall construction of the shoe suggests a high level of comfort.

Converse's All Star Ribbons are made to be lightweight, in order for the footwear to be better integrated into the summer wardrobe rotation. With a soft cushioned insole and an inclusive colorway that boasts pink, navy and white, the Converse All Star Ribbons are bound to make strides in the summer market.
