Hey Sneakerheads

sak for Converse Star Tech

So back in March I posted about a collaboration between Converse and Japanese designer Ryusaku Hiruma (a.k.a. sak).  sak has put out a new pair of handmade leather shoes based on the All Star template, but this time using the star and slash logo (saw these via Hypebeast).  I could personally do without the logo, but what I love about these shoes is the stitched lining around the soles; they give it a real handmade look.  I also love the pattern underneath the shoe.  Converse is killing it with all their collaborations (see the Missoni collaboration I posted about a few months ago).  Hypebeast has a really nice video of Hiruma making the shoes.
