Teal sits awkwardly between blue and green, which is why it rarely gets used as a full-coverage colour. Converse commits to it here: Harbor Teal runs across the canvas and continues onto the rubber sidewall, so the only relief comes from the white outsole and the white detail at the toe. The result is a low-top that holds a single colour from every angle rather than relying on the usual white-on-colour contrast.
Tonal treatments also change how the shape is read. With the foxing stripe matched to the upper, the eye stops separating the rubber from the canvas and sees one silhouette, which makes a Chuck look lower and longer than it does in a standard colourway. The construction is unchanged underneath the paint job, right down to the thin insole a basic Chuck has always used. It released on 13 May 2021 at $60.
