Aaand they're here:

And they look brilliant. The colour is a very nice brown/burgundy mix. I like it quite a lot.

White rubber sole this time.

All in all I'm very happy with them. To my surprise they are even more comfortable than the usual CT 70s because the footbed is much softer and cushy than on old 70 iterations. I did some research and it seems all new editions have this (even more) padded footbed which is brilliant. You can spot the new releases by the sewn-on CT patch on the canvas models contrary to the printed one on the old ones.

Old (coloured):

New (note the added ''70''):

Any love here for the CDG Chucks?

lust for them. never pulled the trigger, probably never will..

Apparently all new 70s releases have a new, massively cushioned and removable OrthoLite insole. The insole on older releases is thinner, glued and not removable.

On the heel it's more than twice the thickness of the old one.

Additionally the blue coloured footbed is padded as well!

So the new 70s Chucks are even more comfortable than the already nice previous 70s iterations.

Swapped the stock cotton laces for some Red Wing nylon ones. So much better now.

Cheers, mate! I did the same on my other leather pair and I'm very happy with the results. The RW laces are easier to tie and hold my feet much better in place. Highy recommendable!

Have any of you found a place to buy replacement laces for Chuck Taylor 70s?  I bought some off Converse's website but the ones they sent were the all-star laces, which just aren't as good.

I found some sites online but don't know if they're reputable.

both patterns are amazing. but i'm more hi tops than low, so it was a pretty straightforward choice for me.
