For over 100 years, the Chuck Taylor All-Star has been worn and loved worldwide and recognized as an iconic shoe with its canvas upper, All-Star patch, rubber toe cap, and vulcanized pinstripe sole.
Over the last five years, Converse has experimented with the shoe’s silhouette and yesterday dropped a new take on its toe cap and bumper.
Joining the De Luxe family and the recently introduced Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel and Chuck 70 De Luxe Wedge, the De Luxe Squared reimagines the iconic rounded rubber Chuck 70 toe cap with angular, squared proportions. The upper evokes Chuck Taylor DNA with stitched detailing and a reshaped octangular All-Star patch.
Since 1895, founder Daniel Swarovski’s passion for innovation and design and mastery of crystal cutting has defined Swarovski as the leading jewelry and accessories brand. Also known for its crystals, Swarovski has found its way into the world’s most iconic moments, “offering endless opportunities for self-expression.”
Featuring more than 1,300 individual Swarovski crystals on each pair, the Chuck 70 De Luxe Squared will debut globally on February 1 on converse.com and at select global retailers.
Completing the De Luxe trio of silhouettes, the De Luxe Wedge and De Luxe Heel are available now on converse.com and at select retailers globally.
