Bouclé takes its name from the French for looped, and that is literally what it is: a yarn spun so that loops stand up from the ground, woven into a fabric that reads nubby and soft rather than flat. It belongs to coats and jackets far more than to sneakers, which is the point of putting it on a Chuck 70.
Gold dart is a warm, muted yellow-brown, and the looped surface catches light unevenly, so the colour shifts across a panel instead of sitting still. Red accents and egret trim finish it, and the texture makes the shoe look heavier than the same shape in cotton canvas. The Warm At Heart name does what it says. This was a late-winter release, out on 17 February 2021 at 85 dollars. The sole unit is unchanged from any other 70: one-piece rubber, diamond tread, glossy foxing climbing high on the sidewall, OrthoLite footbed inside.
