Even today, the Chuck Taylor is an uncontested icon, remaining relevant in what is effectively its original form. That has never stopped Converse from playing around with the classic’s design, however, as they’ve previously handed the sneaker off to collaborators the likes of Rick Owens, AMBUSH, and ADER error. Even the inline team are no strangers to transforming the silhouette, as is evident with their latest experiment: the Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel.
A more fashionable update relative to its GORE-TEX counterpart, the newly-released Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel is exactly as its namesake suggests. Underfoot, the model features a platform heel, its bottom and side walls done up in a fashion aesthetically reminiscent of the original tooling. Above, the canvas upper changes very little about the shoe, its canvas construction only warped to conform to the much taller sole unit.
The Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel is currently available in two colorways — “Black/Egret” and “Egret/Egret” — both of which can be had on Converse.com for $120 USD.
