Converse Japan's latest 'Big C' pack of sneakers celebrate vintage styles by bringing forth some of its most iconic footwear models. It showcases three reconstructed sneaker designs that draw design inspiration from the 50s. To give it some eclectic flair, the retro aesthetics is combated with some contemporary textiles.
The three classic models in the Big C pack include the 'Big C TS OX,' the 'BIG C Army Shoes Mid,' and the 'Big C Slip-Ons.' Notably, the slip-on sneakers highlight a strong fishing shoe influence. The overarching design detail of the entire range is the predominant use of large patchwork, transpiring the name of the pack. All of the sneakers are constructed from water-resistant canvas materials and rubber toe camps.
