Converse is among the oldest and most respected footwear lines of all time. They hold one of the greatest shoes in history in the Chuck Taylor All Star. Chuck Taylor first debuted in 1917 designed for basketball and adopted as an NBA shoe but over time became a national icon that swept the nation. Kids from their 40s to 70s grew up where if you did not have a pair of chucks then you were not the coolest kid on the block. The classic shoe is among the main attributes in the iconic grease look in the film Grease and is also seen on Marty McFly’s feet in Back To The Future. Even today, Chuck Taylor’s can be seen nearly everywhere and for the first time in 98 years they will be given a sequel. Since Nike bought Converse in 2003 they’ve left Chuck Taylor untouched, but now they are going for a new All Star fabric that makes the shoe more comfy and uses the same technology they use for quite a lot of their basketball performance shoes. The classic’s only drawback is comfort and Nike has fixed this problem by incorporating a Lunarlon sock liner. The Lunarlon has been used in many Nike basketball shoes such as the new 2015 Nike Hyperdunk and Nike Air Max 1. This will be the first time the Chuck Taylor All Star has been tweaked or tweaked. The classic All Star will be sold in small batches with a price label of $70 and comes in a top and bottom center featuring black, blue, red, and white. So grab this awesome sequel fast before the Grease hordes take it all and look at the pictures & video below. Images & Video via Converse
