Following the introduction of the radically altered silhouette earlier this year, Converse is expanding its elevated All Star POINTEDTOE series with two new low-top iterations: the PA OX and the GL OX.

These updated models reimagine the iconic Chuck Taylor DNA by pairing its classic rubber tooling with a sharply tapered, dress-shoe-inspired toe. The All Star POINTEDTOE PA OX leans into a sleek, sophisticated aesthetic by utilizing a glossy synthetic patent leather across the upper. Designed for a minimalist look, the sneaker features tone-on-tone detailing — from the matching shoelaces to the uniformly colored embroidered “ALL STAR” logo on the tongue. Available in stealthy “Black” and a deep, eye-catching “Dark Red,” the PA OX perfectly balances the casual comfort of a sneaker with the refined elegance of a formal pump.

As for the All Star POINTEDTOE GL OX, the model offers a bold, structural twist inspired by traditional ghillie shoes. This iteration reimagines the lacing system with a split lace-stay construction that dramatically exposes the center of the instep, allowing the wide, waxed cotton shoelaces to take center stage as a defining design element. The matte finish of the waxed laces elegantly contrasts the smooth sheen of the upper, resulting in a highly stylized, modern profile. Arriving in a rich “Dark Cherry” and a monochromatic “Black,” the GL OX delivers a striking visual while still preserving signature Converse hallmarks like the medial ventilation holes, silver eyelets and the classic diamond-patterned outsole.
