As a gamer, I’d rephrase that like this:

“On May 23rd, I can get my hands on the ‘Aged Bleached Canvas’ version of the classic Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi. This beauty is available exclusively at Converse JP.

Converse has had a deep connection with the punk movement over the years. Iconic models such as the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star have consistently been embraced by influential figures in the scene, ranging from the Ramones to the Sex Pistols. As Tommy Ramone, one of the band members, once explained, “In the ’60s and ’70s, wearing sneakers outside the gym was still considered rebellious. It went against the norm. Wearing sneakers instead of formal shoes was a punk and defiant statement.

The newly released Chuck Taylor All Star by Converse appears to pay homage to the brand’s deep roots in punk culture: it offers a distressed, hand-bleached version of the traditional black Chuck Taylor All Star High. Each pair showcases the iconic black canvas upper that has been speckled with generous amounts of bleach, creating a worn and faded aesthetic that is complemented by off-white toe caps and midsoles. The classic features such as black foxing, white laces, an All-Star badge on the medial collar, another badge on the midsole heel, and silver eyelets are still present.

The “Aged Bleached Canvas” version of the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi is set to launch through Converse Japan on May 23rd. At this time, neither the retail price nor any information about a possible worldwide release date has been disclosed.
