When Takahiro Miyashita remixed the One Star and Chuck Taylor for the recent Converse x Number (N)ine collection, he employed a distinctive asymmetrical lacing system. The unique design was inspired by the Odessa, a Converse running trainer from the '80s. For fall '10, Miyashita has worked his magic on a modern interpretation of the Odessa - and here it is.
Similar to the previous releases, the sneakers feature premium deer skin uppers with smooth leather lining on the inside. The thing that really sets them apart though, is the soles.
The Chucks and One Stars used the ubiquitous vulcanised soles, while these are fitted with comfy running-orientated soles. Not something that you see everyday on a collab Converse release; they're fitted with translucent outsoles for good measure too.
These are some the last few items that the disbanded Japanese label - Number (N)ine - will be releasing, so if you're a fan be sure not to miss out on these unique runners.
The Number (N)ine x Converse 'Odessa' will be available soon at Leftfoot, Singapore.
