The timeless style of the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70s Hi Black carries on the heritage of what is perhaps one of the first pairs of athletic shoes ever made.

Even though the history of Converse started in 1917, the firm paid homage to the original sneaker decades later with the Chuck Taylor All Star 70s Hi Black and other similar styles. In order to create a durable shoe that devotees of Converse and footwear might be able to wear for decades to come, some fittings and materials have been updated while maintaining many of the visual elements of the previous form. The quality canvas upper of the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70s Hi Black is double-ply for more strength and durability, and the toe area's stitching is reinforced while maintaining the original's timeless style. In an effort to give collectors and wearers more arch support and comfort cushioning, Converse put some extra padding to the footbed.
