All Star: Re-launch of the 1970’s Chuck Taylors

[wide]Converse_1970s_Chuck_Taylor_All_Star_Group_17444[/wide]Borrowing subtle details from the era when Converse was celebrated by iconic rock & rollers, basketball legends who have won championships and skaters that have ripped pools, the 70’s Chuck is re-crafted to the specifications of the Chuck Taylor All Star of the 70’s.

The collection features slight differences that at first sight may only be recognizable to collectors and astute fans. However, upon careful inspection the sneaker features slightly higher rubber foxing along the sole, added cushioning and a more substantial toe box. Additional vintage details include stitching on the sidewall, a vintage license plate on the heel and a super heavy-grade canvas upper.
