Timeless. Versatile. An iconic cultural symbol.

These descriptors could be applied to both Converse and denim individually; both the footwear brand and the material share deep roots in American history and fashion. Imagine the powerhouse that the duo would be if combined.

Well, now you don’t have to imagine: Converse is teaming up with Atmos, the highly influential Tokyo-based streetwear and sneaker boutique known for its exclusive collaborations, on a new duo of sneakers, set to launch in January 2026.

A match made in (sartorial) heaven

Founded in 2000, Atmos has built a global following as a premium retailer for major brands like New Balance, Nike, Adidas and others, and for stocking Japan-exclusive, limited-release sneakers.

While details on its new All-Star collaboration with Converse are sparse, we do have a few concrete observations, thanks to images shared on social media by Atmos creative head Hirofumi Kojima.

The upcoming denim pack will be available in two subdued colorways: Egret, which pairs an off-white denim upper with blue and red accents, and a black version with matching, tonal striping and details.

The “Denim Journey Pack” is built to age gracefully; the new upper material only gets better with age, and the two classic colors chosen for this collaboration complement the material’s timeless energy.

Denim thrives in almost any weather, and these Converse aren’t just cool; they’ll also be functional and easy to care for, thanks to their more durable construction.
