Chuck 70s vs All Stars: What’s the Difference?

One of the most common questions surrounding the Chuck 70 relates to the differences between this sneaker and the Chuck Taylor All Star. At first glance, the two don’t seem that dissimilar; they are, after all, from the same family of shoes. However, if you inspect them closer, you’ll see where the contrasts emerge.

First, we have the sole, which in the case of the Chuck 70s is noticeably chunkier and not quite as stark in colour, having an off-white finish to reflect the classic design. The material, too, is entirely rubber, unlike the composite sole of the All Star. Furthermore, the 70s make use of OrthoLite cushioning and a more durable double-ply upper, retaining the visual hallmarks of their predecessor while guaranteeing that they’re up to the challenge of surviving day-to-day wear.
