Karina is stepping into some stylish new Converse. The K-pop star is currently touring with fellow aespa members, having kicked off the SYNK : COMPLæXITY world tour on August 7, 2026, in Seoul. But despite Karina’s busy schedule — she also performed at Lollapalooza on Aug. 2 — the band’s lead singer had time to squeeze in a collab with Converse by modeling their Run Star Crush and the Chuck 70 X.
The Run Star Crush turns the familiar Chuck Taylor All-Stars into something more playful, with exaggerated proportions, a curved platform and a lightweight build that gives everyday outfits a noticeable lift. The shoes are for anyone who thinks classic sneakers could use a little more attitude.

The Run Star Crush in black makes a strong case for giving classic sneakers a little more height. Its durable canvas upper keeps the familiar Chuck look, while a molded foam midsole and separated rubber outsole create lightweight lift and a unique design.

The Run Star Crush in egret is the counterpart of the black version above. Available in sizes 3-13 for men and 4.5 to 14 for women, fit experts say these shoes run a tad on the large side, and recommend getting a half-size smaller than usual.
Karina has also modeled the Chuck 70 X, which keeps the recognizable shape of the original Chuck while giving it a sharper, more modern finish. The upgraded footwear features dual-star accents on the rubber bumper and top eyelets, an updated leather patch logo, subtly aged toe cap and foxing, plus a tongue stabilizer designed for comfort and everyday wear. The collection comes in a variety of colors in both high and low tops. The Chuck 70 X is available now in China and Korea, with a global launch on August 27.
