Converse debuts its First String Standards
1970s Chuck Taylor All Star collection. Borrowing subtle details
of sneakers from the era when Converse was celebrated by iconic rock
& rollers, basketball legends who have won championships and
skateboarders that have ripped pools, the “70s Chuck” is
re-crafted to the specifications of the Chuck Taylor All Star of the
‘70s.
The 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star collection features slight differences that, at first, 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 slightly more
substantial toe box. Additional vintage details include stitching on
the sidewall, a vintage license plate on the heel and super heavy-grade
canvas upper.
The
original classic black and white sneakers will be available globally on
Friday, February 15.The first original colours ever made by Converse in
sunflower
and crimson, will be available globally in April and
additional colours will follow in July. The 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star
will be available at Concepts Cambridge in Massachusetts, JUICE in
Shanghai,
Foot Patrol in London, and HAVEN in Canada for a suggested retail price of £45-£55
