Converse Japan's new "RETRO&FUTURE" line of shoes include models inspired by NASA, Apollo and the space shuttle. From Hypebeast:
Offered in two distinct makeups as part of Converse Japan's ongoing All Star 100 series that celebrates the Chuck Taylor's 100th anniversary, each iteration of the "Spacesuits" Hi features a crinkly Tyvek upper and thematic accents. These range from the classic "Meatball" logo to various inverted measurement specs to the patriotic tones of red, white and blue. These being the All Star 100 models, both shoes feature REACT insoles (complete with unique Apollo 11 and Space Shuttle Columbia graphics), water-repelling laces and slightly thicker rubber soles.
Both styles of Chuck Taylor All Star 100 "Spacesuits" Hi and a low top "STS-1" shoes debuted Friday (March 12) on Converse Japan's web store for ¥12,100 and ¥13,200 JPY respectively (approximately $111 and $121 USD).
