Converse Japan’s All Star Yunomi Hi turns a piece of everyday Japanese tableware into an all-over high-top graphic. The shoe prints the imagery of a yunomi, a classic Japanese teacup, across a canvas upper in a “White/Navy” colorway, built on a renewed version of the All Star spec.

Converse Japan keeps using the All Star platform as a canvas for print-driven, regionally specific releases, and the Yunomi Hi is rooted firmly in Japanese visual culture rather than a Western design reference. Readers tracking the shoe’s September 25th arrival, along with other upcoming Converse drops, can follow JustFreshKicks’ release calendar for updates.

The Converse Japan All Star Yunomi Hi Design

The graphic carries the entire story here. Yunomi teacups are commonly decorated with kanji built on the fish radical, and Converse Japan scatters those characters across the upper in a dense, all-over print. Hidden within the text is a kanji rendering of “all star,” spelling the model’s name in Japanese characters instead of the usual Latin lettering, alongside a set of hand-drawn stars sketched in among the print as a looser nod to the model’s core emblem. The build underneath stays stock, with a canvas upper over a rubber outsole in the high-top cut that has defined the All Star for decades.

What Does the Yunomi Hi’s Print Depict?

The graphic recreates a yunomi teacup, a common piece of Japanese tableware, using kanji built on the fish radical, plus a hidden Japanese-character rendering of “all star” and hand-drawn stars worked into the text.
