Amazon Green '70s Chucks

The 70's CT brings the Chucks to an entirely new level.

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
