The All Star Takes a Splash: Converse Debuts Waterproof Version

Chuck 70s with a Twist

Converse’s iconic All Star sneakers have become synonymous with laid-back style, comfort, and durability. The latest iteration takes the classic to new heights – literally – by introducing a water-repellent and breathable coating. Say hello to the All Star WP!

This innovative shoe is based on the popular Chuck 70 design, which boasts a more substantial build than its predecessor. What sets the All Star WP apart is its proprietary coating, invisible to the eye, that effectively repels water and keeps feet dry. A subtle yet powerful addition that takes the All Star to new aquatic territories.

The All Star WP is set to drop in the Japanese market on January 28, making it an exclusive find for sneaker enthusiasts.

Here’s what’s new:

• 12-ounce canvas with a covert DWR coating, providing a lightweight yet water-resistant construction
• React 2.0 insole for optimal comfort and performance
• Metal eyelets, vents, and heavy vulcanized rubber foxing for durability
• Both high-top and low-top versions available

Notable absence from the design include some of the stitching found on the Chuck 70, streamlining the design for a clean, modern aesthetic.
