the 70s are so way way better than any Chucks Converse did release in the last 30 or so years. Never liked the old ones, but these you can easy wear for hike without any pain, or whatsoever… And imo also the silhouette is better....

Full agreement. Never liked the standard ones either and only had the slim-editions from a few years back before (so fekkin uncomfortable >:(). But the 70s are a whole different league. Can only recommend, too!

I like the Converse 70s as well. Do you think the improved support has anything to do with Nike owning them? They bought them back in 2003.

[rocket]

sure it has, the same why you can buy today Chucks with Nike lunarlon insoles …

should have gotten a pair of the orange ones….

in case someone is looking for a new pair, check the sale section on the Converse sites (through Europe).
With the code EXTRA25 (valid till the 22th, I believe) you gonna get an extra 25% off and there is also a free shipping on all orders offer on...

....some more pairs inbound for me

So many bargains! No surprise my size is already sold out :(.

The woven suede pairs are looking fine!

[rocket]

hah, saw this coming, the missmatch stars will look cool with my navy IH chino tux… wait and you will see 

the woven are actual pretty nice in person...

Apparently the red/orange suede likes to bleed. Any ideas how to make it stop?

Maybe just a protective spray would work. Same stuff keeps then water/stain resistant aswell

[rocket]

would be my guess as well…

Thinking of treating them with Sno Seal. Is it any good?
