Offspring and Converse Celebrate Community With Latest Chuck 70 Pack
Taking a luxurious approach to the two staple sneakers.
Last year, U.K.-based sneaker store Offspring teamed up with Converse for its Community Chuck 70 pack, and now the duo has combined once again for a new pair of Chucks.
Like last time, the collaboration brings a Converse Chuck 70 Hi and Low. However this time around, the sneakers are even more paired-back, as they are made from premium tumbled leather and nubuck and are served in various cool muted shades of gray.
All the original details from the first collection appear on both sneakers, however, they have also been given an update. The “community” laces, Offspring’s logo head surrounding the top eyelet, and a reworked license plate all remain, while new details such as an embossed lightning bolt on the vamp, a hidden debossed “Members Name” label on the tongue, and debossed text on the sole unit’s foxing now appear.
Elsewhere, you’ll find the traditional Converse “Players Name” tag inside the shoe on the tongue has also been flipped to read “Members Name,” which sits alongside another Offspring head logo. Both pairs are finished with a classic Converse sole unit in cream, while the Hi offering also sports a nubuck “All-Star” patch on its medial side.
Take a look at the Offspring x Converse “Community Chuck 70” Part II pack in the gallery above, and pick up both pairs from Offspring’s website and its stores on July 16. The Low retails for £74.99 GBP and the Hi retails for £79.99 GBP (approx. $95 USD — $101 USD).
