Doing our best to move the fight against climate change forward, we've remixed our latest material innovation—Converse Renew Knit—with new textures for the season. Featuring fuzzy terry, thick waffle, and fine, ripstop-inspired knits to layer on the comfort for a look you can feel. Made from about 75% recycled polyester and about 25% nylon, the recycled upper is joined by 100% recycled polyester laces, an approximately 75% recycled OrthoLite sockliner, and a speckled rubber crater foam sole made from rubber scraps from the footwear manufacturing process.
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.
