More specifically, the collection includes new versions of the [One Star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-converse) and the [Chuck 70](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feng-chen-wang-and-converse), both of which are delivered in a well-worn, vintage-style aesthetic. The One Star's uppers are dressed in a dark blue buck, which rests atop black midsole. In contrast, the Chuck 70 is delivered in a soft cream suede with yellowed midsoles and bright white laces. The new sneaker silhouettes will be accompanied by matching apparel items including a utility fleece jacket, t-shirt, pants, and a beanie, all of which align with the collection's retro theme.
