BOLD BOXY

The on-court icon from 1986, completely transformed for what’s next. An expressive, striped pattern on the Star Chevron and upper panel bring the look to life against the black upper. Archival Y-bar paneling and the woven tongue label reference where we’ve been, while the exaggerated CX midsole and lightweight, responsive CX comfort sockliner take you where you’re going.

WEAR AWAY.

By 1970, the Chuck Taylor All Star evolved into one of the best basketball sneakers, ever. The Chuck 70 celebrates that heritage by bringing together archival-inspired touches, modern comfort updates, and surprise design details. A dual-layered upper encourages cutting and ripping the waffle weave top layer to reveal a cotton canvas bottom layer. Non-reinforced eyelets and no-varnish foxing finish off the DIY, look alongside premium Chuck 70 details like winged tongue stitching. Finished with a cushioned OrthoLite sockliner for underfoot support.

High-top, dual layered shoe with cotton canvas and waffle weave uppers
Perforations to encourage ripping away top layer to reveal canvas below
Non-reinforced eyelets and no-varnish foxing
