A.PRESSE × CONVERSE
SPECIAL EVENT

I love the word 'universal.'
It represents qualities or values that transcend time and place, remaining relevant regardless of era or location.

Working on the sales floor every day, I encounter a constant influx of clothing from different genres. I often find myself drawn to items I don't usually wear, feeling excited by their freshness—and more often than not, I end up buying them... While I never regret these purchases, and they certainly help me switch up my mood from time to time, I sometimes feel like they aren't quite 'me,' or that something about them makes me uneasy. I wonder if others have experienced the same.
When you try to define 'universal,' it sounds like a grand concept. Yet, despite temporary changes in personal taste, there are always those 'universal things' that you find yourself gravitating back to.
For me, it’s items like the A.PRESSE chino trousers I once recommended here or the military pants I've been wearing since my days at ROOTS to BRANCHES. Over time, these have softened, developed wear, and shown signs of age—making me think, "I want to wear this again," or "This feels just right." These are my 'universal clothes,' which I still cherish and wear today.

This introduction has gotten longer than expected, but to get to the point: an event to celebrate the launch of the ALL STAR by A.PRESSE—one of the brands I love—will be held for two days only, starting today at COVERCHORD Nakameguro!

On the first day, the ALL STAR will be released.
I won’t go into the details here, but this special edition shoe is packed with unique elements like a diagonal three-star heel label, reinforcement patches, and a logo printed in 'A.PRESSE Green,' capturing the distinctive features of different eras and embodying the essence of A.PRESSE. Since pre-order registration is required, purchases can’t be made in-store on the day of the event, but the online raffle sale will start on the 16th. If you're interested, be sure to apply!

On the second day, A.PRESSE's 2024 AW items will be launched.
To mark this occasion, we've prepared a special setting where you can enjoy shopping while soaking up the brand's world.
Items you may have missed out on could be available, so A.PRESSE fans won't want to miss this!

I'm personally very excited about this event. I'm ready to welcome your passion for ALL STAR and all things fashion, so please come and visit!
