This pair doesn’t need any further introduction: it was seen on everyone (and we mean everyone) throughout the years and it’s clear that it’s not going anywhere any time soon. The rise in skateboarding culture in the ‘70s is what popularised this pair of kicks — and its brand — but it went into a phase of irrelevance during the Noughties.
It was due to its non-flashy, black-and-white colourway and understated design that brought this pair of kicks back to its heydays. And of course, the sightings on celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Brooklyn Beckham and Gigi Hadid played a part too.

First released in 2013, Converse‘s Chuck 70 pays homage to its OG, The Chuck Taylor, whilst retaining its iconic All-Star sneakers’ silhouette.
Comprising of both low and a high top (pictured), the Chuck 70s is all about the nitty-gritty and uplift aesthetics: Sturdier canvas upper for increased durability, cushy foam insole for extra support, nickel-plated eyelets for a more refined outlook and an ecru outsole that emanates a worn-out appeal. Something that all sneakers should possess, in our opinion.
