The ultimate college student kicks

Feeling the munchies after dark? We’ve found the perfect sneakers for a late-night snack run. Last year, Converse collaborated with Comme des Garçons to give the sneakers a new and refreshed look. This time, Converse aimed for some ramen-inspired kicks.

Partnering with Nissin Foods, Converse is dropping three All Star sneakers inspired by the food giant’s classic Cup Noodles on January 27th. The Original Flavored shoe comes in red, white, and yellow, resembling the OG cup noodles. The corner of the shoe features the Converse branding in Nissin’s logo font, along with small yellow rectangles lining the side of the shoe. The hightops come laced in white with red spares in the box, and the tongue of the shoe is designed with the recognizable cup noodle’s instructions.

The Seafood Flavored colorway comes in a similar pattern to the Original, but in blue. If seafood noodles are your favorite midnight snack go-to, this one’s made just for you. Laces originally come in the shoe in white, but you can switch to blue.

If hightops aren’t your thing, this low-cut black cup noodle design might be your ideal choice. With a more playful design and black and white motifs, the sides of the sneakers say “hot water 3 minutes” in Japanese. And the laces truly embrace the instant noodle aesthetic—they’re curly.
