Converse works in collaboration with Magaret Howell's MHL to deliver two new versions of the All Star Earl footwear model. The latest shoe follows the two's original collaboration of the Chuck Taylor All Star back in 2015. This time around, the sneaker gets two colorway options -- this includes Anthracite and Pale Green.
MHL adds personal touches that can be seen in the form of the React 2.0 midsole foundation to provide comfort for all-day wearing and stability for support. Other details of the shoe include a rubber toe cap and sole unit foundation. The uppers have an understated look and the lateral side of the sneaker is accented with durable materials, which are added to correspond with its laces.
