Converse Addict is a sub-label of the brand's Japan branch and the latest partnership takes the [Chuck Taylor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-converse) All Star High as the base foundation. Details such as the subtle details and dual logos are retained on the new iteration. The versatile style continues with the minimal color palette. The upper is offered in black materials on a canvas foundation and it boasts a washed out look to imitate the look of a pair of worn-in denim. It is then detailed contrasting stithcing materials in a white color, followed through with white tonal laces, and silver eyelets. The collar boasts another All Star logo to round it out.
