Upgraded recreation of the 1970s original with heavier canvas, better insole cushioning, and improved rubber quality throughout.
The Chuck 70 is the upgrade that the original Chuck Taylor needed โ heavier canvas, better insole (the standard Chuck's is essentially cardboard), and better rubber quality throughout. The 70 designation references the original 1970s construction spec, which was stiffer and more durable than the modern core version. For around $90, you get a shoe with genuine cultural longevity, reasonable build quality, and maximum outfit flexibility. The high-top version gives extra ankle presence; the low-top is cleaner with most pants lengths.
Pros
- Superior construction to standard Chuck Taylor โ worth the price delta
- Iconic silhouette that doesn't date
- Available in an enormous range of colors and collaborations
Cons
- Vulcanized sole still provides minimal cushioning โ not for long days
- Canvas shows scuffs and dirt relatively quickly
