Converse Chuck Taylors are among the most classically casual sneakers to ever hit the streets. But the Chuck’s iconic silhouette just got a little bit more formal, courtesy of a luxurious leather upgrade that definitely kicks things up a notch.
Available in a noir-ish black and a crisp white, the Chuck Modern Lux offers the same time-honored Chuck Taylor, just with the finishings of a dress shoe—like a molded supple leather upper and wax-coated shoestrings.
The Converse Chuck Modern Lux is available starting February 9 through KITH and BLENDS for $140, and launches wider distribution through Converse on February 17.
Here’s a better look at the starkly contrasting colorways…which do you like best?
