In 1917, Converse introduced its first high-top shoe, which later became an iconic silhouette. The updated July 2019 Chuck Taylor All Star Hi is now made with recycled 'Black' canvas sourced from reused plastic bottles. This sustainable design embraces a yin and yang aesthetic with contrasting white stitching and traditional cotton laces in the same color. The vulcanized rubber sole replaces the usual black stripe with white and showcases a motivational motto, "Life's too short to waste," encouraging individuals to minimize waste and take action.
