Converse classic models (1) “ALL STAR
First up is Converse’s masterpiece, the ” All Star,” which was born in 1917 as a basketball shoe and has since expanded its scene as a fashion sneaker, and is loved by many for its simple yet complete form. The All Star also includes the high-cut model “ALL STAR HI,” the low-cut model “ALL STAR OX,” the slip-on model “ALL STAR SLIP,” and many others.
Among the All Star models, the “CT70” is particularly popular among fashion lovers because of its vintage look, which is a reissue of the USA Chuck Taylor model sold in the 1960s and 1970s, and because it is different from the current design, and because it is not sold in Japan. The fact that it is different from the current design and not sold in Japan has added to its popularity. They can be ordered from overseas e-commerce sites, and used ones are also available in Japan, so those who are interested should check them out.
