Converse CONS RUNBOUNCE Debuts in Limited Strawberry
Converse Japan has unveiled a regionally exclusive 'Strawberry' version of the CONS RUNBOUNCE, a collaborative running silhouette developed alongside athlete Takaya Mitsuka. The limited drop arrives February 22 at select Japanese retailers.

The CONS RUNBOUNCE represents Converse's continued push into performance-driven territory, and this Strawberry edition underscores the brand's willingness to engage local narratives and regional pride. Created in partnership with runner Takaya Mitsuka, the shoe draws its inspiration from his native Tamana City in Kumamoto Prefecture, translating local agricultural identity into footwear design.
The colorway references the region's celebrated strawberry cultivation, though Converse has kept specific material and construction details close. The pricing structure—¥19,800 JPY (approximately $130 USD)—positions the shoe as a mid-tier release, appropriate for a limited regional collaboration.
