The Ox is the low-top cut of the All Star, and in black over white it is the most quietly worn shoe Converse makes. This one is the second-generation build. Released in 2015, the All Star II thickened the canvas, lifted the rubber midsole and foxing, simplified the outsole to two pieces and swapped the flat insole for Lunarlon foam, the cushioning Converse borrowed from its parent company.
Details here are limited to the contrast: black canvas, black eyelets and black laces above, then the white rubber foxing stripe, white toe cap and white outsole that make the shape readable. The All Star patch sits on the medial side of the low-top rather than at the ankle. Inside, the micro-suede lining and padded tongue are what separate the II from the standard Chuck. Our records date it to January 2019 at a $70 list price.
