"Chiikawa" is the brainchild of illustrator Nagano. Though it only debuted in 2020, it quickly swept across the globe, captivating audiences with its unique style after its TV anime adaptation. It's safe to say everyone loves it!
Following the sold-out success of their first collaboration with sportswear brand CONVERSE back in February, the official announcement for the second wave dropped today (June 13)! This new collection features two fresh, special-edition sneaker designs, bringing the irresistible charm of the adorable characters right to your kicks. Mark your calendars: they officially launch on June 20, 2025.
This time around, the lineup includes the **ALL STAR LIGHT PLTS PT HI** and the **ALL STAR GD OX**. While both are classic "ALL STAR" series, one boasts a lightweight platform sole, while the other is a classic low-top style complete with exclusive collaboration charms. Each offers distinct features for fans to choose from.
▼ ALL STAR LIGHT PLTS PT HI / CHIIKAWA (Cream, Black, Light Gray) Price: 13,200 JPY
This pair is built on the lightweight platform "ALL STAR LIGHT" base, featuring Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi printed all over the upper. It's a super cute design that's guaranteed to brighten your day just by looking at it.
Here's a fun detail: the right shoe showcases the "normal" versions of the adorable characters, while the left shoe features their "slightly different" counterparts – a truly thoughtful design! Plus, there's a collaboration logo on the side designed with the exclusive Chiikawa font, and even the shoe interior and laces boast collaborative details. Seriously, it's beyond cute. This model is available only in sizes 22.5–25.0cm.
▼ ALL STAR GD OX / CHIIKAWA (Black, White) Price: 13,200 JPY
This one is the classic low-top style, and its biggest highlight? Four golden charms – featuring Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and the CONVERSE logo – are attached to each shoe (two per side), and they're fully detachable and customizable!
What's more, the gold tongue logo, the text tag, and the illustration-style "ALL STAR" design on the heel are all meticulously crafted. The level of cuteness here is absolutely going to spark a buying frenzy.
Both sneaker models come with a special collaborative shoebox, featuring the three adorable characters alongside the CONVERSE logo. These two collaborative sneaker models will officially go on sale in Japan starting June 20, available at CONVERSE direct stores, White atelier BY CONVERSE, the official online store, and select authorized retailers!
