            The greens are pretty much sold out everywhere. There are a few other color ways though. Check converse.com for red, creme, blue, black, and yellow. I've seen purple, and turquoise as well.

            I got mine from deadstock.ca

                        Are those the ones with the vintage heel tab? And does anyone no the difference between those and the regular 70s?

                              GMB, as far as I can tell the converse folks expanded releases of first strings and with the expansion changed the heel tab (and possibly some other things). A forum member talks about it a few pages back . . . .

                                They've re-released the 1970 OX All-Stars which came out as a first string release last year. . .  but with this new release . . .
                                The heel tab is different and now has the modern Converse logo with the star in the "o" . . .
                                The heel panel is also different and now made of the canvas like the rest of the shoe.
                                Not sure if there been any more modifications, to me the canvas also looks slightly different . . .

                                    I've read contradictory descriptions of the Converse First String/70s CT describe them as both wider and narrower in the toe box than standard CTs. Can someone confirm what the truth is here please?

                                    Also, do the First Strings and later 70s reissues have exactly the same shape? Thanks.

                                      I think narrower and construction is far superior. They are worth the extra loot

                                        They're a bit more narrow in the toe box Maynard, makes them look much better from above.
                                        I did pick up the new parchment lows, and the canvas is the same as on last year's first string release.
                                        Only things that differ are the new, less attractive, heel tab and the canvas heel piece, shape's exactly the same and so is the more chunky and thus a lot more comfortable sole.

                                          Thanks Mich, I may try them on, plenty of shops near me seem to have them. I've never owned any Converse before other than some Leather Jack Purcells around 10 years ago, which were slightly small in the toe box. I have wide feet so am currently wearing PF Flyers Centre Hi.

                                            I also have wide flat feet but have encountered no problems with the first strings, the '70s or JP's.
                                            Comfort wise the 1st$ and '70s are comparable to JP's, i also take the same size in both, which is half a size up from my regular Chucks size.
                                            If you're in the position to try them on before buying i would certainly take that opportunity.
