Collaborative Sneaker-Shaped Vases

The Converse Tokyo x Ceramic Japan x .blnk Retails for $85 USD

— March 18, 2020 — Art & Design
In Fall 2019, Converse Tokyo, Ceramic Japan, and .blnk joined forces to launch a special sneaker-shaped vase. The product took the shape of the silhouette of the classic All Start HIs, proving that the popularity of the footwear has exceeded the constraints of the footwear category. Initially released for a limited time, the collaborators make the flower vase available to consumers online for ¥9,000 JPY (which is approximately $85 USD) in 2020. Perhaps. this reflects a popular demand for the product.

The sneaker-shaped vase has a minimalist aesthetic as it is offered in an all-white palette. The home decor item is crafted by Ceramic Japan who "is known for its long history of ceramic and pottery production."

The dimensions of the ALL STAR / HI Flower Vase are 30.5 cm by 14.5 cm.
