I am 68 years old born in 1955. When I was in high school, graduating in 1973, teenage boys wore Chuck Taylor's or PF Flyer sneakers. Chuck Taylor's were the most popular. Over the years, I didn't see teenage boys or men wearing Chuck Taylor's because I think they had stop making the Chuck Taylor's. In 2017, I purchased the white Converse All Stars and they took me back to my teenage years in the late 60's and early 70's. Unfortunately, the bottom sole on the All Stars weren't thick enough and walking on gravel or stepping on a cord hurt my feet. I have flat feet by the way. Yesterday, June 1, 2024, I purchased the Converse Chuck Taylor 70's because the bottom rubber is much thicker and they're a better upgrade from the All Stars. The cost was $90 dollars due to inflation and the economy. I have paid close to $200 for Nike sneakers from the Nike store. $90 was a good deal on the Converse Chuck 70's. I am glad I came across the Chuck 70's Parchment/Garnet/Egret color yesterday. I will wear them today with some black Levi jeans and a gray Polo shirt and a black NY Yankee's baseball cap.🤣 I am still trying to capture my youthful days.😁

2 minutes into the vid and i'm already convinced the 70's are the better choice, i've not worn chucks in a long time but i do remember the last pair i had being really uncomfortable, the extra padding is a must for me so now i know which ones to get! thank you very much!

I wish they offered a non-cream colored rubber option for the Chuck 70s. Sometimes you want a brighter white for more of a visual pop.

I have the all stars in leather and the 70s in canvas. I use the all stars for lifting and I feel the leather look elevates my look in the gym. For going out and casual outings, I love the 70s for the thicker sole and higher quality materials and stitching.

Can’t go wrong!!

I wear all stars since the 70’s don’t have wide sizing

Chuck 70s don’t have the loops for the laces. Idk why they didn’t put it on them but that is important to know cuz they can’t hold the shoe tongue properly.

I have the eva lifts and the igs not a chuck 70 but honestly I would like the cream cooler on my so,e

The original Allstars never did it for me, however, the 70’s are totally different. The high quality materials, thicker sole and the smaller, narrower toe cap make them look far better. I bough the 70’s in Parchment colour. I’m hooked, I’ll probably buy a black pair of 70’s in the future. Great video. Thanks.

Hahah agree with all of that! I just got the parchment color for my birthday 🔥

I'm a size 45/11 but is the shoes so snug or its fit is like the adidas superstars for the chuck 70.

I wish the Chuck 70s had the loop on the tongue that you put the laces through to keep the tongue centered. The Chuck 70's tongue loop always slides to the side and I wish you could get the outsole in white and the black one was actually black instead of dark blueish.

that bothers me too honestly good point

Do the 70s just give the appearance of having a thicker sole or is the sole actually noticeably bigger? I don’t want it to add to my height I think I’m already a little tall lol

@alexnicoll95

Ай бұрын

It is physically bigger!

And now, if you can, compare Converse Chuck '70 vs Adidas Nizza rf'74. This is real comparison between two "top" shoes from both.

You can always just put insoles into your shoes?

Do you know how much height the Chuck '70 gives? please

all stars give 0.7 inch so 70s should be about an inch

I love the cx shoes. I wear size 9. My all stars are 8.5, but my CX shoes are 9. Should I go 8.5 for the chuck 70s? We don't have a shoe store that carries them.

​@luckyluc03 which congrates on your shoes and which one is better, high top or mid top for daily life, and why, please?

I love my CONVERSE I have been wearing them most of my life since the 90s I love both of them Chuck 70 and Chuck All Star Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star my favorite shoes of all time I like the Chuck 70 better I love my CONVERSE size us 13 for me I stay with my true size if I go down in size it will be way too small for me not enough toe room for me

Both...

Stumbled on this vid as I am looking at replacing my everyday sneaks as they are splitting where the sole meets the rubber surrounds, both sides. They are Chuck 70 lows, that I thought where normal Chuck Taylors. Only realised that they were 70s after watching this vid. Tbh I was a bit disappointed. I usually wear my Chucks to destruction and this pair, in my opinion, failed prematurely. Not sure I'll replacing them with 70s....still thinking I have worn Converse sneaks almost exclusively for 40 years and have about 8 pairs on the go at the moment - mostly One Star

So the 70's are basically PF Flyer's but with a 30$ price increase? Guess they can get away with that since PF Flyer's went out of business a couple years ago. Edit: PF Flyers are still being made, apparently. But the price went up to $80-$90. Oh well, can't have everything in life I guess.

I have a small collection of them

P.S. I forgot to add, Chuck Taylor's today are unisex. Growing up in the 70's as a teenage boy, only teenage boys and young men wore Chuck Taylors. The world is very strange in 2024 with men dressing feminine and women dressing masculine.🤔
