Last year, Sophnet was rather busy with a number of different collaborations, including a very interesting when with the Nike ACG line that resulted in two pairs of the Air Deschutz sandal. Today, we learn that Sophnet is right back at it- this time joining forces with Converse. The result this time is an All Star high with the, now very trendy, side zipper. This pair boasts a straightforward navy/white colorway that will go well with any Yankee fitted. Look for these to hit very well-connected Converse carriers by next month.

SOPHNET. and visvim have linked up to produce an exclusive colorway of the luxurious FBT.

The kicks sport a tonal suede upper with the signature moccasin footwrap.  The upper sits atop a new vulcanized midsole, effectively giving the shoe a more rugged and classic look.

Available exclusively via Japanese department store Isetan in Osaka, you’ll have hit up your foreign connects in order to pick these up (if you have about $700 to spare).

Just earlier today we showed you two colorways of the Nike Blazer mid AB that Japanese brand Sophnet helped with. Now we’ve stumbled across a third pair that will be part of that collection. Pictured here is a black-on-black version of the Blazer mid AB that is also equipped with the side zipper. Moreover, there does not seem to be much of any other color even making an appearance on this “all-black-everything” shoe. How do you think this colorway measures up to the previous two we showed you from this Tier Zero collection?

Just yesterday we brought you a look at the “bog green” Nike SB Blazer mid. Today we bring you two pairs of the Blazer mid AB that were a result of a collaboration between Nike and Japanese brand Sophnet. This collection includes one pair of the Blazer mid AB with a navy blue upper and red side zipper. The other pair comes in white with a blue side zipper. The toe area is constructed as that of the Nike All Court’s toe area; and, soon, these will hit select Nike Tier Zero accounts across the world.

SOPHNET. celebrates their 10th anniversary with Converse who also embarks on a major accolade, 100 years in the industry. The two utilize a classic, the All-Star Hi by dressing it in a subtle black and white palette on a canvas upper. However, like the Mastermind x Converse Chuck Taylor  a few days ago, this pair of Converses also includes zippers, but in this case they can be found at the sides of the sneaker. The All-Star Hi will release at Soph. locations and at SOPHNET. next month. Via hb.
