I first saw these during at Nokia, 12/09 "On His Own Concert." At first glance, these look like a basic pair of Converse. However, if you look closely at the details of these shoes, they're definitely not Converse and he's definitely been wearing them long before 12/09.
After some research, these are at the least made by "Over the Stripes." This a brand from Japan founded in 1996. I can't tell if they're a collaboration with any other designer. As you can tell JM's OTS are not the same OTS as posted in the above Mastermind Japan x OTS picture. They just look most similar to the "Mastermind Japan x OTS" sneakers described here. Yet, after a careful review of many pictures wherin JM has on these shoes, it's visible that his are white with either black/navy trim and a white "Over the Stripes" label on the back of the shoe. I've spotted this shoe in rotation quite frequently lately.
