Converse One Star Academy Ox Shoes

Seen here in a white and enamel red colourway, these Converse One Star Academy Ox Shoes have textured suede uppers and cut out red and blue textile inserts which result in a classic look against one of Converse’s modern silhouettes. The low cut silhouette has a traditional cotton lace up fastening upon a tongue made from the same hairy suede material. On either mid side, two stripes of red surround a cut out blue star and perforation has been added along one side. Throughout the inside, a white fabric lining cushions the edge of the ankle and a blue OrthoLite insole ensures a high level of support and comfort. The white layered midsole is made from rubber, with an extra textured layer around the front of the foot for durability, above a brown tread pattern that has been crafted for grip, and at the back of the heel a debossed ‘Converse Onestar’ patch has been added as a signature detail.

Designed for daily wear, Converse have updated their One Star Academy Ox silhouette with a new colour combination. First appearing in the ‘70s, this style originally saw itself on the feet of basketball players but now is more commonly worn by skaters and those seeking modern renditions of classic designs. The low-cut shape and simplistic aesthetic allows for many colour variations and experimentations with fabrics which ensures constant evolution and makes way for trends and seasonally appropriate materials.
