Certain pieces of clothing transport us back to high school the second we lay eyes on them. Among these items are Chuck Taylors and varsity jackets. Now Converse has combined the two into one pair of nostalgia-inducing kicks. The Converse Chuck 70 Wordmark look like your classic high tops, only these ones have a wool letter plastered on the side, not unlike the jacket you got for football, basketball, soccer, or whatever sport you played in your teen years. The letter is placed on top of a more refined leather upper that works because it reminds us of the sleeves on those letterman jackets of yore. Oh, and they just happen to look good. You can pick up your pair in one of four colorways.
