The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70 Hi is the premium version of the most iconic sneaker ever made. The '70' designation means this uses the 1970s-era construction — heavier canvas, vintage colors, higher rubber foxing, and a cushioned Ortholite insole that the original Chucks never had. First introduced in 1917 and popularized by basketball player Chuck Taylor in the 1930s, the silhouette has been worn by everyone from punk rockers to presidents.
