Classic Lasts The Converse mainstay gets a reboot with the Chuck Taylor All Star II
simplicity redefined.
the tradition of clean.
refreshed & refined

Earlier on, HYPEBEAST was invited to an exclusive event in Boston, Massachusetts to unveil what Converse has been working on with hushed lips all this time: the Converse All Star Chuck Taylor II. Maintaining the classic silhouette and overall feel of the original Chuck Taylor, the II adds modern refinements that ultimately make it a worthy successor in both high- and low-top renditions. Upgrades arrive in the form of improved canvas sourced for durability, an improved gusseted non-slip tongue, soft padded collar and ultra smooth micro-suede liner. Perhaps the most attractive upgrade is the addition of a Lunarlon inner sole for maximum comfort, which represents the combined sensibilities of Converse and Nike who have produced a new American classic.Advertisement
