Stüssy and Converse‘s relationship is still going steady and will soon add their flashiest sneaker to date.
The Stüssy x Converse Chuck 70 releasing this week takes on a snakeskin textured leather that’s quite hard to miss. Appearing in brown, the material takes over the entirety of the upper, including the unbranded circle-shaped badge on the medial side collar. Stüssy’s remixed All-Star logo is embroidered on lateral side, and similar branding is applied to the tongue tag. Inside, you’ll also find Stüssy’s logo embroidered on the tongue’s other side, as well as an unaltered All-Star badge on the collar and dual-branded insole. The sole unit and toe then retain a classic makeup in white with black striping.
Stüssy and Converse last linked up in the spring for a duo of hairy suede Chuck 70s, with low-tops in red and high-tops in baby blue. Over the summer, Stüssy also brought a hairy suede to the Nike LD-1000, one of Nike’s longest-running models.
The Chuck 70 is delineated from the Chuck Taylor All-Star by a thicker and higher quality, as well as more comfortable Ortholite insoles and vintage-inspired looks that include the branding and slightly off-white sole unit. It also tends to be the version of the classic sneaker chosen for collaborations, which include 10 colorways from Tyler, the Creator’s Golf le Fleur label spread releasing throughout the fall.
The snakeskin Stüssy x Converse Chuck 70 will release this Friday, October 11, through Stüssy’s website and physical stores. Another release will then follow October 17 on the Nike Snkrs app. Pricing is set at $110.
