Converse debuts the Chuck 70 De Luxe Squared with Swarovski

How do you honour the past while building the future?

For more than 100 years, the Chuck Taylor All Star has been worn and loved by athletes, musicians, artists, dreamers and thinkers. It's become a classic symbol of style, accessibility and self-expression. The canvas upper, All Star patch, rubber toe cap and vulcanised pinstripe sole are recognised worldwide.

For the last five years, Converse has been experimenting to provide new forms of expression for those unafraid to take a chance—and is now offering a new take on the icon's toe cap and bumper.

Joining the De Luxe family and the recently introduced Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel and Chuck 70 De Luxe Wedge, the De Luxe Squared re-imagines the iconic rounded rubber Chuck 70 toe cap with angular, squared proportions for an entirely new expression. The upper evokes Chuck Taylor DNA with stitched detailing and a reshaped octangular All Star patch.

No stranger to the world of fashion, Swarovski is synonymous with innovation and creativity, inspiring mesmerising designs for more than 125 years. Much like Converse, Swarovski has been adopted, beloved and embedded in some of culture's most iconic moments.

Swarovski crystals offer endless opportunities for self-expression. Featuring more than 1,300 individual Swarovski crystals on each pair, the Chuck 70 De Luxe Squared shines light on new futures for self-expression and creativity while honouring what's come before.

The Chuck 70 De Luxe Squared and Converse De Luxe Squared with Swarovski crystals will debut globally on 1 February 2024 on converse.com and at selected global retailers. Completing the De Luxe trio of silhouettes, the De Luxe Wedge and De Luxe Heel are also both now available on converse.com and at selected retailers globally.
