The Converse All Star Chuck '70 is our re-crafted sneaker that uses modern details to celebrate the original Chuck Taylor All Star from the 1970s. Vintage details include stitching on the sidewall and a heavier-grade canvas upper for comfort and durability.
Created in 1917 as a non-skid basketball shoe, the All Star was originally promoted for its superior court performance by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor. But over the decades, something incredible happened: The sneaker, with its timeless silhouette and unmistakable ankle patch, was organically adopted by rebels, artists, musicians, dreamers, thinkers and originals.
