Converse (CONVERSE) has announced new colors for the Fall/Winter 2026 season for "CONS UNAVERAGE MID," the signature model of basketball player Yuki Togashi, marking the first time a Japanese athlete has received a signature model in Converse's basketball category, "CONVERSE BASKETBALL." These will be released on July 17, 2026 (Fri).

"CONS UNAVERAGE MID" is a signature model that Yuki Togashi was deeply involved in developing, designed with meticulous attention to functionality that supports the agility and precise play required of a guard. The theme is "SPEED STAR," and the design emphasizes "quickness" tailored to the Japanese physique. Based on the mid-cut design that Togashi has favored for years, it achieves a balance of stability and lightness.

The upper uses highly breathable technical mesh and TPU fusion for excellent hold. Furthermore, it supports agile play from the feet with a TPU shank that provides a rebound effect during flexion and extension, a lateral wall stabilizer structure that balances cushioning and support, and the independently developed honeycomb cushioning material "REACT HC." It also features a high-density PU + E.V.A. insole for comfortable wear.

For the Fall/Winter 2026 season, two colors will be released, themed around Togashi's challenging spirit, his hidden passion, and "energy." "Green/White" is inspired by a "green flame" burning with tremendous intensity, expressing Togashi's strong will to constantly challenge new heights, appearing calm and collected on the surface but harboring an unparalleled passion within. "Black/Pink" represents "infinite energy" that explodes intensely on the court and never fades until the final buzzer. Additionally, the chevron logo on the side panels features a glossy print to visualize the dynamism of energy. Both colors share a common detail: a clear sole expressing "energy welling up from the feet," with Togashi's signature "II" visible from the bottom of the sole, a special specification that further enhances the worldview of this signature model by reflecting Togashi's exceptional playstyle and mindset from different angles.
