GASHAPON "CONVERSE SHOES COLLECTION Marker Charms" Gashapon, Mark Your Umbrellas with Classic Shoe Models!

Bandai's GASHAPON capsule toy division has partnered with American athletic shoe company CONVERSE to launch a new themed product – the "CONVERSE SHOES COLLECTION Marker Charms" gashapon. The suggested retail price is 400 JPY per capsule, with an anticipated release in late March 2026!

The ALL STAR was launched by CONVERSE in 1917, designed for basketball, featuring a rubber sole and canvas upper. It remains the brand's most classic and enduring style to this day. The ONE STAR is a classic shoe model born in the 70s, known for its single star logo on the side and minimalist design. Originally primarily made of suede, it is deeply loved by Japanese street culture and celebrities like Takuya Kimura. The PRO LEATHER OX is the low-top version of the classic leather basketball shoe endorsed by Julius Erving in the 70s, now incorporating skateboarding culture and comfort technology.

GASHAPON's marker charm series features a rubber ring on the charm, allowing it to be attached to items like umbrellas or water bottles for marking, preventing mix-ups! This "CONVERSE SHOES COLLECTION Marker Charms" miniaturizes the three classic shoe models introduced earlier – ALL STAR HI, ONE STAR, and PRO LEATHER OX – meticulously recreating the details of each shoe type at an approximate size of 4 cm. The ALL STAR comes in four colors, while the ONE STAR and PRO LEATHER OX each come in two colors, totaling eight variations. Each charm includes not only the left shoe but also a mini model of its corresponding shoebox. Whether used to mark an umbrella or as a regular charm, they are incredibly eye-catching!
