A Closer Look at Virgil Abloh’s Converse Chuck 70 Collaboration
“VULCANIZED.”
With the last installment of “THE TEN” dropping soon — after a surprise early release this week — Virgil Abloh’s take on the classic Chuck 70 silhouette from Converse gets a closer look. Undoubtedly the standout feature of the shoe is its translucent upper, which is adorned with signature Virgil touches such as quote marks, medial side branding, and the classic pull tag.
The quoted phrases on the sneaker includes the words “LEFT” and “RIGHT” on the opposite feet, as well as “VULCANIZED” — a reference to the shoe’s construction — and “SHOELACES” branding on the laces. Get an up-close look at the Virgil Abloh x Converse Chuck 70 in the gallery. The shoe will release worldwide in the coming days.
