The standard All Star upper is untreated cotton canvas, which absorbs water on contact and then takes hours to dry. The waterproof version exists to solve that, using a treated upper and a sealed construction so the shoe can handle rain and wet ground without giving up the silhouette, which is the reason people keep wearing canvas shoes into winter in the first place.
Midnight Navy applied tonally suits the purpose. A dark blue-black hides water marks and road salt better than a light canvas would, and matching the rubber to the upper removes the bright white foxing stripe that shows dirt fastest. Above the sole, the shape is unchanged, high-top collar and ankle patch included. It is a seasonal variant rather than a redesign, and our records place it in January 2019.
