Converse has run licensed cartoon graphics on the Chuck for years, but this pack committed more than most. Rather than drop a single logo onto a panel, the artwork is distributed across the whole shoe so that the two characters share it. Hanna and Barbera's MGM shorts supply the imagery. The faces print on the lateral sides, the names run across the medial panels in block type, and the joke continues underneath, where the outsole carries mismatched polka dots in place of plain rubber. The ankle patch and toe cap are translucent rather than opaque, so the canvas graphic reads through the rubber instead of being interrupted by it.
The canvas is egret, the off-white used across the 70 line, with red and black handling the character work. It sold for 100 dollars on 24 August 2019 on the standard platform: foxing running high on the sidewall, one-piece rubber outsole, diamond tread, thick OrthoLite footbed inside.
