Converse revamped the Chuck Taylor All Star for the first time in 98 years
For the first time since 1917, Converse's iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker is getting a new look — and will be more comfortable to boot.
The new All Star II will be released July 28 in black, white, red, and blue. Prices are being bumped up by about $20 — $70 for the low-top style, $75 for the high-top. Fans of the original Chuck Taylor, don't worry; Converse will continue to sell the classic style, too.
