CONVERSE ADDICT Holiday: silver running heritage, emerald suede and smoky-black canvas arrive in November
Three materials revisit classic silhouettes at tax-inclusive Japanese prices of ¥23,100–¥33,000. Physical stores begin November 10 and online channels November 13, with retailer-specific conditions.
UOMO labels its original introduction as PR commercial content. CONVERSE ADDICT’s 2026 Holiday collection brings three shoes to Japan: silver ALL STAR TRAININGSHOES, emerald CHUCK TAYLOR SUEDE OX and smoky-black CHUCK TAYLOR CANVAS OX. They vary silhouette, hairy texture and canvas colour. Start by deciding whether you want a metallic focal point or a low-top that continues an existing trouser wardrobe; physical and online releases also fall on different dates.
What separates silver TRAININGSHOES from canvas classics?
ALL STAR TRAININGSHOES builds on a 1975 running shoe, retaining a slender outline, foil-stamped ALL STAR lettering and a wrapping heel, then turning the archive metallic with Japanese-made silver leather uppers. Even the side Chevron & Star uses silver. From a distance, reflection registers before the logo and panels, reversing the visual sequence of a runner built around contrasting colour blocks.
Official specifications list a VIBRAM NEWFLEX outsole and a double-layer E.V.A. and PORON insole, with spare black laces. White laces continue the upper’s brightness; black ones draw attention towards the tongue. That provides two colour arrangements within one pair. Dark straight trousers concentrate silver around the feet, while light trousers soften the boundary, without requiring extra metallic accessories in either case.
What changes with emerald suede and smoky black?
CHUCK TAYLOR SUEDE OX dyes long-nap suede emerald, contrasting it with white laces, toe caps and sole edges. CHUCK TAYLOR CANVAS OX uses canvas woven on Japanese shuttle looms in smoky black. Both inherit details including the three-star heel label and side stitching of 1960s ALL STAR models. One relies on the movement of nap and colour, the other on the black-and-white boundary, creating different surface rhythms.
Emerald long-nap suede contrasts with white laces and toe caps.Smoky-black canvas retains white sole edges and toe caps for softer black layering.
Official information for both Chuck Taylors lists VIBRAM MEGAGRIP outsoles and cup insoles combining E.V.A., PORON and TPU shanks. These should be distinguished from the silver runner’s NEWFLEX construction. The brand’s grip and support descriptions express product positioning; fit still depends on feet, socks and surroundings. Compare emerald with familiar black, grey or khaki trousers. With smoky black, consider whether its difference from an existing pure-black shoe warrants another purchase.
Check November dates and prices by retailer
Japanese tax-inclusive prices are ¥33,000 for TRAININGSHOES, ¥30,800 for SUEDE OX and ¥23,100 for CANVAS OX. Physical stores are scheduled to begin November 10, followed by online channels, including the official shop, from November 13. As of October 25, these remain upcoming releases. Retailers may set individual opening times; one shop’s midnight or midday launch cannot be applied to every seller.
Use the official CONVERSE ADDICT collection page to confirm model names, then check the selected retailer’s rules. BEAMS, for example, lists only the two Chuck Taylors and will not carry TRAININGSHOES, restricts reservations and ordering arrangements, and makes online sales conditional on stock remaining after store sales. Confirming the shop, model and size before planning a purchase is more useful than remembering only the collection name.
