Stripes on canvas are harder to get right than they look, because the pattern has to survive wrapping around a curved toe box and meeting itself at the seams. Here the solution is a wide, simple repeat: Egyptian Blue bands over an Egret off-white ground, spaced far enough apart that the lines stay clean where the upper turns.
Egyptian Blue is a strong mid-blue with a slight green cast, closer to a nautical shade than to navy, which suits the summer framing. The rubber toe cap, foxing stripe and outsole stay white and provide the frame. Nothing about the construction departs from the everyday All Star high-top, so the pattern is the whole story. Converse dates the release to 10 May 2021 and listed it at $65.
