In 2018 L.A. streetwear brand ROKIT transformed the always popular Chuck 70 with a tonal makeover, deconstructing the classic sneaker with premium suede and canvas panels. For their second collaboration Converse and ROKIT go back to basics with a stripped down, all black hi-top. The blacked-out All Star logo tops a canvas upper divided into quarters with matching stitching and taped seems – a reference to the streets of Los Angeles.
“The Chuck 70 is classic yet constantly evolving at the same time,” says Bam Barcena, creative director and co-owner of ROKIT. “The idea of it originally being a basketball shoe and now being more of a cultural icon says a lot — and that magic of being able to exist in seemingly different spaces is very much in line with the spirit we capture with ROKIT.”
The Converse x ROKIT Chuck 70 will be available later this month on converse.com.
