The Converse Renew Chuck Taylor All-Star ’70 sneakers are a distinctly rustic version of the iconic casual footwear style that's focused on delivering comfort and style that doesn't come at the expense of the planet. The sneakers are crafted using undyed scraps of raw cotton canvas from the brand's factory that has been used instead of its processed alternative to give the sneakers a decidedly more rustic look. The sneakers feature raw edges that further enhance the laid-back design of the shoe, while also featuring zero leather in their construction.
The Converse Renew Chuck Taylor All-Star ’70 sneakers are finished with rubber outsoles that are partially made with recycled materials and are intended to get better with wear thanks to their unfinished look.
