INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION: TYVEK® CHUCK 70.
Like a lot of things in the past year, this innovative design started at home. A material exploration repurposed Tyvek® mailers found around the house to discover new style possibilities. The result is an unexpected new expression of the Chuck 70 that’s totally functional. Water repellant, tear-resistant and paper soft, Tyvek® is one of the most versatile materials ever discovered. Its crossover utility has seen it used on everything from home building to festival wristbands. This limited-edition design ignores the confines of convention and brings that industrial feel to the premium Chuck 70, reworking the silhouette’s iconic details in Tyvek® all the way to the toe bumper. Two options let you go all-in on the raw industrial look or add vivid splashes of bright colour.

Chuck Taylor All Star 70 Origins
By 1970, the Chuck had evolved to become the pinnacle of function and utility for sport, and was considered the best basketball sneaker ever. The Chuck 70 is built off of the original 1970s design, with premium materials and an extraordinary attention to detail. A shoe so rooted in tradition that it has its own instant history. That’s the Chuck 70. It’s not a shoe. It’s the shoe.
