The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Ultra is a lightweight style inspired by the original All Star—now sized down for kids. Chuck Taylor classics like the star ankle patch and woven tongue label pay homage to the original, and exagerrated midsole design adds newness. Color-popped heel and tongue loops make for easy on and off, with leather overlays to accent the lightweight, canvas upper. The look gets finished with a cushioned SmartFOAM sockliner keeps things comfortable.
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.
