Avant-Garde Meets Functional Design

Trekking-Shoe Elements Fused into a Bold Design

The most defining feature of the TREKWAVE Z HI is its striking design. While it retains the traditional high-cut silhouette, it incorporates a voluminous trekking-shoe-inspired outsole that immediately draws attention. But this isn’t just a design. The outsole, inspired by actual trekking shoes, brings not only strong visual impact but also enhanced functionality—offering both fashion-forward looks and everyday performance.

A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Innovation

The upper is made from CONVERSE’s iconic canvas material. Known for its casual texture and excellent durability for everyday use, the canvas retains the classic look that fans have loved for generations. Paired with the newly designed outsole and a side zipper, the TREKWAVE Z HI embodies a perfect fusion of classic and contemporary aesthetics. It captures CONVERSE’s signature spirit—respecting tradition while embracing innovation.

The Secret Behind the Comfort

Surprising Cushioning and Stability from the Platform Sole

The chunky outsole does more than make a visual statement—it plays a major role in comfort. A thick E.V.A. midsole provides excellent cushioning with every step, making long wear fatigue-free. Despite its platform structure, the comfort is likely to exceed your expectations.

Confidence Even in Bad Weather

The outsole is made with slip-resistant materials, offering stable footing even on rainy days or slippery surfaces. This added security is a clear advantage of the trekking-inspired design, allowing you to wear it with confidence across a range of everyday scenarios.

Where Functionality Meets Fashion: The Perfect Accent for Your Outfit

More Than Just Style—Engineered for Daily Use

The TREKWAVE Z HI isn’t just stylish—it’s thoughtfully built for everyday practicality. The side zipper eliminates the hassle of tying laces, making it quick and easy to put on or take off—especially handy when you’re in a hurry or on the go. Despite its chunky appearance, the shoe is also lightweight, reducing the strain on your feet even after long hours of wear. Perfect for daily use, travel, and active outings alike.

Elevate Your Look with This On-Trend Footwear

Thanks to its distinctive design, the TREKWAVE Z HI serves as a versatile styling accent. Pair it with a simple tee and jeans for an effortlessly stylish look—the volume at the feet adds visual balance and a fashion-forward twist. Add it to a monochrome outfit to inject a modern, mode-inspired vibe and create a sophisticated finish.
