About Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70 Hi
Converse Chuck 70 Hi: the high in Sunday version
The Chuck 70 Hi is not a separate design but a cross between two options, each of which has its own page: the Chuck 70 construction and the high silhouette you also know as the All Star Hi. The height here is the historically accurate form — the basketball shoe of old was high — and the 70 iteration is the way Converse builds that shoe to the standards of the past.
Put it next to a regular All Star and the differences add up. The glossy rubber rim is pulled higher and is cream-colored rather than bright white, with not one but two thin black stripes around it — one along the upper edge, one lower around the toe. On the heel is a small black nameplate like a little tag. Along the top edge of the tongue runs a striped tape, and along the sides you see two parallel stitch lines that keep the canvas taut. The fabric itself is more heavily woven and deeper in shade.
The name refers to the decade from which this variant borrows its blueprint: the 1970s, when the shoe was made with thicker canvas, more rubber and a cushioned insole. The 70 in the name is therefore not the production year of your pair — it is a specification, like a reissue of a classic guitar made to the specs of a particular build year.
The high cut adds its own history to that. The star emblem sits only on the inner ankle, exactly where it originally began as a protective pad for the ankle bone, and because of the height the eyelets get an extra row. Anyone who wants a lower silhouette will find the same construction on the Chuck 70 page in the Ox variants; anyone who wants to explore the canvas offerings more broadly can go on to the One Star, the brand’s suede outlier.
That fashion houses choose this version as a basis for collaborations is no coincidence: the 70 construction is the most photographed version of the most famous sneaker shape in the world. But the pair without a partner’s logo uses exactly the same construction — that is the real selling point.
