About Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70
The 70 in the name is not a year of manufacture. It refers to the decade being recreated: this is the Chuck as it rolled off the line in the 1970s, not the current Chuck with a few extras. That distinction sounds like splitting hairs, but it explains almost every detail in which this model differs.
The rubber rim gives it away fastest
Put two pairs side by side and you’ll see it immediately. The rubber rim around the sole rises higher on this model and covers a larger portion of the canvas. That rim is also intentionally not bright white but in an aged shade, as if it’s been worn for years. The toe has an applied bumper with a fine diamond pattern in the rubber, and on the heel sits a small rectangular plate that’s integrated into the rim itself.
Embroidered, not printed
The round ankle emblem on the standard Chuck is a multi-colour print. Here it’s embroidered and done in a single shade, with a relief you can feel with your finger. The stitching along the panels is also deliberately in a contrasting shade so the seams remain visible. The canvas itself is more heavily woven and will feel stiff during the first week; that’s not a fit issue but a property of the fabric.
One thing is more modern
Where the model takes a step back in time everywhere else, it moves forward underfoot. There’s a removable, foam-padded insole, and that’s exactly what the original Chuck never had. For those who find the classic version too flat on a long day, that’s the main reason to choose this one. Don’t expect a running shoe: the sole remains flat and thin, just less hard than before.
Two cuts, the same shoe
The low version is known as Ox, the high as Chuck 70 Hi, and the only difference between the two is shaft height and an extra pair of eyelets. If you’re looking for the lighter, more flexible version, look to the Chuck Taylor All Star or the All Star Hi. If canvas-on-rubber is what you’re after and brand isn’t, the Vans Authentic occupies the same category.
