Chuck Taylor All Star II Knit Collection

Converse continues to explore the realm of comfort and innovation with the newest expression of Chuck II, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Knit Collection. Launching in Spring 2016, the Chuck II Knit seeks to reimagine new avenues of design and creativity with leading texturized material and colors.

The new collection explores innovative materials, eye-catching colors and woven textures that embody the spirit of the upcoming music festival season. The depth of colors executed on the sneakers is influenced by the Illuminating kaleidoscopic light shows found at music concerts. A dimensional look-and-feel is delivered through the ultra thin, tightly interwoven knit material.

The Chuck II Knit sneaker pushes forward the synthesis of the enhanced comfort with a Nike Lunarlon sockliner, a nonslip padded tongue and an ultra-soft micro-suede lining. The exterior details elevate Chuck Taylor's most recognizable features with a fully embroidered All Star ankle patch, high foxing and monochrome matte eyelets.

The new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Knit Collection includes Volt Green, Black, Yellow, Roadtrip Blue, Red, White, and Spray Paint Blue. (Starting at $80.)
