Description
NOT A THROWAWAY.
Converse Renew ups the ante on sustainable style with a three-lace Chuck 70 featuring a 100% recycled morphlon upper. This expressive, do-good sneaker recreates the iconic silhouette’s premium craftsmanship using recycled materials throughout the design, including 100% recycled laces, insoles made with about 20% recycled content and a toe-cap and outsole each made with about 10% recycled content. Recycled morphlon, a unique combination of post-industrial textile scraps and recycled polyester, creates a distinct textured base from which bold details shine. Vibrant ankle-patch stitching and the triple-lace rigging system add pops of color, and the fuse-tape detailing brings a futuristic element.

By 1970, the Chuck had evolved to become the pinnacle of function and utility for sport, and was considered the best basketball sneaker ever. The Chuck 70 is built off of the original 1970s design, with premium materials and an extraordinary attention to detail. A shoe so rooted in tradition that it has its own instant history. That's the Chuck 70. It's not a shoe. It's the shoe.
