This can be far more reliable than relying on sizings that may not be uniform across different brands. Though tempting, do not machine wash your converse! To wash suede styles, gently brush away any marks or dirt with a suede brush. To wash leather styles, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. The 70 styles are generally more rigid and structured. They have a thicker sole with added cushioning and are made of a thicker canvas making them a stiffer, more structured style.
The rubber on the 70 styles are finished with a glossy off-white coat, unlike the regular All Stars, giving them a classic Americana vintage feel. While the All Star originated as a basketball shoe, the One Star has its origins in skating. Thicker soled and often made of a material other than canvas, the One Star styles are a more modern take on the classic Converse styles being updated in new materials and patterns.
All their classic Chuck Taylor All Star styles are unisex with standard unisex sizing. Beyond that, certain sizes may have specific male and female sizing to account for their shape. Our rule? If the shoe fits and you love it, wear it regardless.
Pair sleek monochrome Converse One Stars with your streetwear inspired fits to add a touch of retro styling into a modern look. Though easily paired with every colour, the bold white detailing on the One Star style makes it a strong pairing with an all-black-everything look. Next to the Chuck 70s, however, that becomes even more clear.
The aglets at the laces and for ventilation are silver-toned and matte, but otherwise look identical to the alternative. The ounce cotton canvas is beefier and more substantial.
The insole feels more supportive and more spongey than the Classic Chuck. This is more evident at the balls of the foot. While both soles look very similar, it feels as though the Chuck 70s are slightly grippier, despite having less-defined grooves than the Classics.
The metal eyelets match the rubber. That is to say that the eyelets are also shiny, compared to the matte finish of the Classic Chuck. The laces are denser and thicker. A major appeal for the Chuck 70 is its silhouette. The last for the retro contender gives the sneaker more structure. But the looser and lighter All Star is an icon for a reason. Why redo it? The Classics are also noticeably lighter overall, but, interestingly, the heel counter is significantly more stiff than the 70s.
To a black-tie wedding? Yep, I've done that too. At any given time, not only will you find a couple of pairs sitting in my closet in varying degrees of scruffiness , but there will also be at least one set still in the box—purchased simply because they were on sale.
Which is why one of the very first things I noticed about Vice President Kamala Harris was that she, too, has a penchant for a particular pair of kicks: Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star sneakers. A post shared by Vogue voguemagazine. And she even has a sequined pair that she's yet to break in, according to The Washington Post. During a stop on her presidential campaign, Harris visited a New Hampshire farm, where it was too muddy to move comfortably in heels. When she realized she had forgotten to bring her Chucks, a staffer lent Harris her own, which she wore throughout the event.
Last year, journalist Erica Warner tweeted that Harris had even tried wearing Converse into the congressional chamber, which has a strict dress code, and was told she had to enter through the cloakroom instead.
But Harris has been wearing her trusty Converse long before she hit the campaign trail or Capitol Hill—though to much less fanfare. While Harris's signature shoe style might not seem like a big deal—and yes, it isn't as significant as, say, the fact that she's the first Black woman and first Indian American vice president, or her dedication to improving maternal health care in the U.
A post shared by Kamala Harris kamalaharris. Just like her pointed questions during high-profile Senate hearings, Harris's sneakers intentionally or not communicate that she's the no-nonsense type who's more focused on being practical, than progressive. Not to mention that unlike Common Projects or Golden Goose kicks, Harris's retro-style sneakers are accessible and familiar to people—regardless of their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.
