Hawkins Heat: Converse Japan Unleash Stranger Things Capsule

Japan have kicked the portal wide open, unleashing a Season 5 capsule that feels like it crawled straight out of a VHS tape left in a basement since ‘87.

The lineup goes deep: six All Stars, a Hawkins-High-coded , and a pitch-black that practically hisses when you open the box. Each Chuck is linked to one of the core characters, but forget the usual TV-tie-in cheese – these pairs drip with era-correct colours, old-school lace jobs, and tongue tags that sneak in little narrative nods for the diehards.

The Weapon is peak 80s jock energy – creamy panels, varsity green hits, lightly beaten textures and that ‘found in the locker room after detention’ vibe.

And then there’s the One Star: a black-suede creep with distorted creature graphics and laces printed like a tabloid warning about whatever’s lurking in the dark. If the Chucks are the heroes, this thing is pure villain energy.

The full collection lands November 27 exclusively in Japan through Converse Japan and select accounts. If you’re chasing Stranger Things nostalgia without a cornball finish, this pack might be the cleanest crossover since Eleven started throwing vans around with her mind.

Still hungry for Hawkins heat? Hit the and keep the madness rolling.
