nonnative teams up with Converse on GORE-TEX All Star shoe

Converse has collaborated with nonnative on an All Star GORE-TEX Centerzip Ox shoe in ivory. The design reinterprets the classic silhouette with waterproof features and a signature center zipper. It releases on March 20 for ¥25,000 JPY.

Converse partnered with Japanese brand nonnative to create the All Star GORE-TEX Centerzip Ox, a modern take on the iconic All Star model. This collaboration merges GORE-TEX waterproofing with nonnative's distinctive center-zip aesthetic, available in an ivory colorway under SKU NN-F4851. The MSRP is set at ¥25,000 JPY, roughly $157 USD, with availability at nonnative and Converse stores starting March 20, 2026, as announced on March 17, 2026. The upper consists of ivory-white cotton canvas with a water-repellent treatment and a gusseted tongue designed to keep out sand and water. It preserves the traditional All Star appearance while adding enhanced waterproof capabilities. A front zipper runs down the center, facilitating easier entry and contributing to a sleek silhouette that blends with the lace eyelets for optimal fit and comfort. Converse heritage appears in the tricolor stripes on the sidewalls, and the lace tips display branding for the collaboration. Inside, a high-density urethane insole offers cushioning. Subtle co-branding maintains a minimalist look throughout the shoe.
