Converse has received quite a few upgrades across the line due to their 100th Anniversary, but the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 100 GORE-TEX Hi takes the sneaker to an all new, waterproof level. The partnership with GORE-TEX allowed Converse to create something that looks and feels like the classic Chuck Hi kicks you’ve been sporting for years except now you don’t have to worry about wearing them outside for fear of getting caught in a downpour. We’re not going to have exact details about the construction until the newest iteration of the legendary sneakers drop later this year, but they’re rumored to have a gusseted tongue and a complete wraparound GORE-TEX treatment to ensure your feet stay nice and dry regardless of how many music festivals you wear them to. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 100 GORE-TEX Hi sneakers are expected to drop in September of this year.
