Converse Japan’s 2009 March releases are seen here as themes seen in previous months continue on. The “Expo Nippon” theme which highlights various Japanese traditional crafts is seen once again with the Arita-yaki One Star Ox based on the special regional pottery styles. A new theme includes the “Expo Okinawa” narrative. The Okinawian people have lived alongside various American military installations which has molded the island’s unique culture. The Expo Okinawa releases include models based on the prefecture’s flower as well as various iconic food chains. Other non-themed releases include a Jack Purcell Slip-On and a wrinkled patent leather All Star Hi. These will be releasing at various Japanese Converse dealers this month.
