THE CONVERSE X CLOT ONE STAR – 14 SEPT 2017

Code: 159248C

Differentiating themselves from the previous collaborations we’ve seen across the model so far, the CLOT edition runs with a satisfyingly simple two tone black and white palette, constructed in a hairy suede upper for a “worn in” look.  Balanced out with a clean white midsole which displays delicate yin yang symbols, the inner-midsole also houses a selection of Simplified Chinese characters that come from the Analects of Confucius. Roughly translating to “Ancient scholars for themselves, today’s Scholars for people,” the text references a Confucian thought process that implies the search for knowledge should be motivated by the self, rather than for the recognition of others.
