Converse

I really want to like Cons and I do on other people but they just don't work on me. Those red suede ones look great.

anyone know of a place ( europe or the states ) where i can get a pair of these Jackstars ? not sure if there a Japan exclusive or not

[Finshack]

How does one tell if a pair of converse are "70s"? I usually shop for shoes at like Ross or tj maxx, so I never see boxes or rarely tags. I was wondering if they have distinguishable characteristics.

@sabergirl Was always my understanding they have the black label on the heel…

Slightly higher rubber wall, Black label back heel, the extra stitching where the material is near the rubber to and full rubber sole. Def a better shoe than the reg Chuck Taylor.

I actually live the blue denim so much I just got in two more pairs for once this pair dies. Haha

Cool. Thanks for all the info, everyone

I like. Are those a UK only release?

[Jordan23]

No!

Enjoy ya addiction!

Excited, I grabbed a new release of the 70. I have been wanting s low top version of this awesome shoe, finally a colorway I love. They just dropped a few new colors for summer for highs and lows

[Jordonf9]

The midnight navy is pretty boss

@Jordonf9 can you point me in the direction of these new releases of the 70's?  I went to the website but I'm not seeing these for some reason.

I'm a fan of the tonal laces on the 70s as they don't get as dirty as the white ones. Especially when wearing denim.

I kid of agree with you @Finkster but look how good the new lows look with the OD

More of a plum, love them! Might get white/offwgite laces though :p

^ they look lovely. This may be weird but at the age of 43, I've never owned a pair of Converse…

The 70s are worth tracking down, great quality and pretty comfortable. Picked up the denim ones for £30 from cruise recently.

All the other cons that I have tried on have been uncomfortable as fuck!

Mr. Hound! Hope you're well, dude. Are the 70's a vintage style model? I have zero knowledge about these things…

Busy as fuck old boy…... aaarrrrrghh!

As I understand it the 70s have a thicker sole (more comfortable), higher rubber foxing (basically the rubber lip around top of sole is higher - which looks better imo), quality of stitching is better.

These are the denim ones.....
