British luxury streetwear imprint A-COLD-WALL* by Samuel Ross recently unveiled a closer look at its collaborative Chuck 70 sneaker model made alongside Converse for the season. The duo delivers a minimal take on the lifestyle shoe with the colorway options of Silver Birch and Pavement as the primary tone of the respective palettes.
Notably, the uppers are made from canvas and detailed with reflective film on the lateral side to showcase the co-branded touch. It all sits on top of a clear sole unit and continues with the clear toe cap. Additional branding can be seen making up the sock lining and notably, it is accompanied by apparel in the collection as well -- this features a tee and French Terry shorts.
