The Crater Knit is the furthest Converse has taken the All Star away from canvas. The upper is a knit built from at least 50 percent recycled content, with fully recycled laces, lining, pull tabs and rubber toe cap, and it wraps the foot like a sock rather than sitting over it like a stiff panel. Underfoot is Crater Foam, the compound Nike developed for its Space Hippie line, which blends foam with roughly 12 percent recycled Nike Grind rubber. The speckles visible through the sole are the recycled material showing through, not a printed effect.
Converse launched the model on 19 March 2021 in two colourways, a flat grey and this one: white and Egret with Barely Volt, a pale yellow-green, used as the accent. An OrthoLite insole handles the footbed. At $110 it was priced as a technical release rather than a canvas basic.
