Converse Turned a Leather Jacket Into a Sneaker

We both know you don’t need another leather jacket, you won’t wear. You need these leather jacket coded Converse, though.

The One Star Z is a collaboration between two American icons that happen to share a name, Schott’s legendary “One Star” rider jacket and Converse’s legendary “One Star” sneaker. 

The coincidence was too good to waste, so they didn’t. The result is a sneaker that thinks it’s outerwear, and honestly? It’s not wrong.

The upper is tea-core leather, the same kind used in Schott’s rider jackets, which means it’ll age, patina, and develop its own character the more you wear it. Scuffs become texture. Creases become personality. 

The center zip running down the tongue is lifted straight from Schott’s jacket hardware, same construction, same attitude. Both brand logos live on the insoles, and the whole thing arrives in a vintage-inspired box that knows what it is.

This isn’t a collab where one brand slaps its logo on another’s shoe and calls it done. We’ve seen enough of those. The Schott DNA is in the leather, in the zip, in the whole energy of this converse. 

It’s a sneaker wearing a jacket, which, given where it came from, makes perfect sense.
