Converse released its first high-top in 1917, a shoe that would become one of the most recognizable silhouettes in history. Clad in recycled 'Black' canvas made from reused plastic bottles, the updated Chuck Taylor All Star Hi hones in on a yin and yang vibe with contrasting white stitching and traditional cotton laces of the same hue. The vulcanized rubber sole swaps out the typical black stripe for white and features a 'Life's too short to waste' motto at the toe, a reminder to waste less and do more.
