Converse Japan Teams Up with MHL. on the All Star LGCY Ox, Understated Style Starts with Olive and Black

Converse Japan has joined forces with Margaret Howell's diffusion line MHL. to launch the All Star LGCY Ox, reinterpreting the classic canvas silhouette in olive and black, with both brand logos printed on the insole.

Converse Japan Teams Up with MHL. on the All Star LGCY Ox, Understated Style Starts with Olive and Black

MHL. has never relied on flashy details to make a statement — Margaret Howell's diffusion line builds its design logic on honest cuts and materials, rarely letting any single piece overshadow the fabric itself. This collaboration between Converse Japan and MHL. on the All Star LGCY Ox carries forward that same restraint: no major changes to the shoe's shape, just a shift in colorway that gives the classic low-top canvas sneaker a quieter, more everyday feel.

The collab comes in two colorways — olive and black — while keeping the familiar proportions of the All Star line: white rubber toe cap and outsole, the single side stripe near the heel, and the instantly recognizable Chuck Taylor label. The real giveaway of this partnership is hidden inside the shoe — the insole features both the Converse and MHL. logos, essentially the only clear "evidence" of the collaboration.

Converse Japan 找來 MHL. 合作 All Star LGCY Ox,低調感從橄欖綠與黑開始

There's no flashy mixed-material paneling, no extra hardware or prints — nearly all the design decisions here are contained within the colorway and insole details. For those familiar with MHL., this approach comes as no surprise; if anything, it's very much in line with the brand's consistent attitude of letting the silhouette and color speak for themselves.

Pricing and a specific release date have not yet been announced. Stay tuned to Converse Japan's official channels for further details.
