Fast Co Design covers the recreation of the Converse All-Star, maybe the most iconic sneaker in the world. The goal was to “change everything without changing anything.”
…most of the changes are in the detailing. Take the iconic All Star
patch. An iron-on in the core Chuck Taylor, the Chuck II sport a woven
version, nicer looking and less likely to wear down over time. The
eyelets in the Chuck II are molded, creating a feeling of greater depth;
same thing with the Converse heel patch, which now has
three-dimensional letters, instead of just a painted-on logo. The canvas
used in the Chuck II has a better hand feel than the original Chucks
too.
