Conerse introduces a new and captivating iteration of its iconic [Chuck 70](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feng-chen-wang-and-converse) sneaker model with the spotlight hitting a leather flame accent. The upper of the model is made from a blend of [canvas and leather materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adererror) in black before it is adorned in some tonal contrast of bright yellow, red, and 'Egret.'

The sneakers are rooted in the dark base foundation and the front of the design features a flame shape that is complete in the brand's 'Speed Yellow' hue. To further detail this applique, there are white and red topstitching elements for a bold look throughout the eyestay and mid paneling areas as well. The back of the sneakers are more minimal with bold details at the sole unit.
