Converse has released a new premium collection named “First String.” The collection seeks to redefine the classic Chuck Taylor for a modern era, merging premium materials, refined construction, and contemporary design details.
The debut collection features three elevated models of the signature Chuck style: a First String Chuck in vintage-washed heavyweight canvas, premium brown leather, and Japanese tropical knit.
“It’s not about doing archival reissues for the sake of history — it’s about celebrating silhouettes like the Chuck Taylor by studying their purest expressions over the decades, and then thoughtfully elevating them into something that feels wearable, relevant, and hopefully highly sought-after today,” said Matt Sleep, design director of Energy Collaborations and Special Pro
