Mesh on a Chuck is a bigger change than a new colour. An open weave lets the layers beneath show through, so the black surface here is not flat: mason and serene sapphire read from underneath and shift with light and angle. The construction also breathes in a way the line's usual 12-ounce cotton canvas cannot.
Redux sits inside Converse's Renew program, which began in 2019 as three material routes rather than one. Recycled polyester spun from used plastic bottles covers the canvas version, denim upcycled out of landfill covers another, and a composite made from cotton canvas waste collected off other factories' floors covers the third. The common thread is that the input is something already made rather than something newly grown. This high-top released 2 June 2022 at 95 dollars. The bottom unit is unchanged from any other 70: glossy midsole, foxing running high on the sidewall, one-piece rubber outsole, thick OrthoLite footbed inside.
