Artisan Converse


SAK x Converse

There are only 64 pairs of each design WORLD WIDE and these Masterpieces retail for USD$600 - $700.

This are the works of ace Japanese shoe maker Ryusaku Hiruma (a.k.a SAK) who operates in Florence, Italy, birthplace of Da Vinci, Michelangelo andGuccio Gucci. Every stitch, every perforation, every naunce is applied by SAK himself over a 30 hour period. Even the laces are cut by his own hand from one continuous spiral of leather, with a Converse star as an exclamtion mark for the tip.

The evocative smell of leather is also prominent in the first experience . They're lined with supple calf skin and the midsoles are generously thick cut of beef hide... even the soles themselves are polished to a hard leather finish, then imbued with a sipping pattern that will be instantly familiar to boat shoe devotees. That they are screenprinted with Converse's classic rubber thread pattern is just another example of SAK's meticulous attention to detail, not to mention evidence of a sly sense of humour.

Dopeeest Converse!!!
