Converse has produced some pretty awesome Chuck Taylor collaborations over the years, but the John Varvatos ones have always seemed special. It should come as no surprise that the house of Varvatos was going to get their hands on the all new Chuck Taylor All Star II with its Lunarlon cushioning, non-slip tongue and micro-suede liner; we just didn’t expect to see it so early. Taking a traditionally Varvatos approach, the casual Chuck Taylor All Star II is decked out with a luxe, coated leather upper that pays homage to the intersection of fashion and music. If you want rock n’ roll sneakers, the Converse x John Varvatos Chuck Taylor All Star II Leathers are it.
