Converse Chuck 70

Converse Chuck 70 Collection: Vintage Roots, Upgraded Soul

The Converse Chuck 70 was reintroduced in 2013 as a premium revival of the classic 1970s Chuck Taylor design. And it wasn’t just a throwback—it was a glow-up. With upgraded materials, a beefed-up build, and a vintage aesthetic that’s pure Americana, the Chuck 70 walks that perfect line between archive authenticity and everyday wearability.

Originally known as the shoe that ruled the hardwood in the ‘60s and ‘70s, the Chuck 70 brings that same old-school energy into the now—complete with a heavier 12 oz canvas upper, higher rubber foxing, and glossy sidewalls. It feels richer. Looks sharper. Wears longer.

You’ve still got all the signature Chuck details: the rubber toe cap, vulcanized sole, metal eyelets, and star-centered patch. But under the hood? It's a different machine. The Chuck 70 comes lined with an OrthoLite insole, extra arch support, a more structured shape, and a feel that breaks in beautifully over time. It’s made for long hauls, loud statements, and low-effort cool.

FAQs

Do Converse Chuck 70s run true to size?
They fit true to size for most people, but the added structure and padding means they may feel snug at first. Stick to your usual size unless you like a looser fit.

How do I clean my Chuck 70s without ruining them?
Spot clean with a soft brush and gentle soap. Avoid the washer. Air dry naturally—these are built to last, and they age better with a little character.

What’s the real difference between Chuck 70 and Chuck Taylor All Star?
Chuck 70s are made with thicker canvas, a sturdier rubber sole, added arch support, and vintage-style design details. Think of them as a luxury version of the original All Star.

Are there low-top Chuck 70s?
Yes—the converse chuck 70 low is one of the cleanest profiles Converse makes. Same premium details, just a lower ankle cut.

Is the Chuck 70 built for all-day wear?
Absolutely. Between the OrthoLite insole, reinforced stitching, and structured shape, the Chuck 70 is designed to go the distance without falling apart.
