Most Chucks are sold on contrast, the white rubber bumper against a coloured upper. This low-top removes it. The canvas, the laces, the eyelets, the toe cap, the foxing stripe and the outsole are all black, so the shoe reads as a single dark shape and the stitching lines do the work the white rubber usually does.
It is built on the All Star II, the 2015 redesign Converse aimed at everyday wear rather than nostalgia. That version uses thicker canvas, a higher rubber midsole and foxing, a two-piece bottom sole and a Lunarlon foam insole in place of the thin sockliner the standard model has always used. A micro-suede lining runs through the interior and the tongue is padded. The All Star patch appears in tonal black on the medial side. Converse listed it at $70.
