If we’re being completely honest, we thought we had seen every possible iteration of Converse’s infamous Chuck Taylor hi-tops. And then we saw these new M-65s. Equal parts M-65 field jacket and standard Converse Chuck Taylor Hi, these shoes completely change the game. An olive, navy or black canvas upper and M-65 style snap pocket are overlaid on top of the standard Chuck canvas to create a shoe that’s immediately familiar but also different. As for the pockets themselves, you can fit change, Zippos, trinkets or maybe even some substances you don’t want security guards to find when you’re heading into a concert.
