FULL CIRCLE.
This shoe has been in our line one way or another since the 1950’s, with its circular-stitched toe and simple, rubber midsole. We’ve redesigned the Skid Grip for today with a modern wedge midsole, today’s comfort technology, and classic canvas construction. An 80’s graphic print from the archives gives another nod to our heritage, bringing in color and abstract shapes to give this modern update throwback style.

Chuck Taylor All Star Origins
Created in 1917 as a non-skid basketball shoe, the All Star was originally promoted for its superior court performance by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor. But over the decades, something incredible happened: The sneaker, with its timeless silhouette and unmistakable ankle patch, was organically adopted by rebels, artists, musicians, dreamers, thinkers and originals.
