Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 Space Collection

Today, Converse announces the launch of the Converse First String Chuck Taylor All Star ‘70 Space Collection. The sneakers, based on the iconic Converse silhouette, takes inspiration from intergalactic space travel and the significant events in space.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ‘70 Space collection is offered in two vibrant colorways. The black and white version honors astronauts that have traveled to the moon, with distinct 3M reflective pops that signify the lustrous details on the exterior of a spacecraft. Graphics inspired by rocket ships cover the upper, while a ribbed toecap is added for durability and the outsole is finished in a translucent, marbled gray.

The second sneaker in the collection is inspired by the splash down balloons that helped astronauts re-enter the earth’s atmosphere safely from space. Premium features include a multi-beige nylon upper with welded print detail, a leather toecap and a translucent marbled blue outsole. The heel is debossed with location coordinates from a historical moment that took place in the Pacific Ocean.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ‘70 Space collection will be available starting Friday, Oct. 23, for a suggested retail price of $120 at Converse retail stores, select first string retailers and online at Converse.com.
