The Converse All Star Square Toe DR LE OX is a hiking-coded dress sneaker from Converse Japan. Brown suede and black leather versions land on October 23. D-ring eyelets and rope-style laces give the classic All Star a boot-like feel. This is not your standard Chuck Taylor.
The square toe is the first thing you notice. It changes the entire profile of the shoe. The traditional rounded Chuck Taylor toe is replaced with a squared-off shape that looks more like a dress shoe than a sneaker. Converse Japan has been pushing the All Star into new territory for years and this is one of the most experimental.
The hiking details add another layer. D-ring eyelets, rope-style laces, and a lugged outsole. These are features you would expect on a hiking boot, not on an All Star. The combination of dress shoe shape and hiking boot details creates a shoe that does not fit neatly into any category.
Converse Japan frequently releases All Star variations that never reach the US market. The Square Toe DR LE OX is likely a Japan-exclusive, which means importing will be the only way to get a pair for most people.
