Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hihigh tops with iconic star: The design that defined the modern world

If there's one shoe that doesn't need logos all over it for everyone to recognize it, it's the "Chucks". At Queens, we see the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi as an absolute constant in the ever-changing world of trends. They're a shoe you wear with the same confidence at thirty-five as you did at eighteen, the only difference is that today you can fully appreciate their timelessness and incredible ability to adapt to any lifestyle.

A story that's been written since 1917

Few pieces in your wardrobe have such deep roots. Originally designed as a technical shoe for basketball players, these high-tops got their name from Chuck Taylor, the man who helped push them onto every backboard in America. But they've since become something more - a symbol of cultural identity. They've made their way to rock stages, punk clubs and art studios. At Queens, we appreciate the fact that their visual appearance has barely changed in decades. It's proof that true quality doesn't need constant upgrades.

Honest construction without unnecessary pretension

In an age overcrowded with technology, Converse relies on a tried-and-tested recipe: high-gram canvas uppers and vulcanised rubber soles. This simplicity is their greatest strength. The high cut gives you stability and ankle protection, while the distinctive rubber toe ensures the shoes can handle even the roughest urban pace. At thirty-five, you know that the best things are the simplest - these canvas shoes are lightweight, breathable and the more 'skinned' they are, the more authentic they feel.

How to wear a legend in adulthood?

The magic of Converse with a star on the ankle lies in their total versatility. They are shoes that allow you to express your attitude without having to compromise on elegance. Queens recommends pairing them with quality denim, but don't be afraid to wear them with a more casual suit or chinos either. They'll add just the right amount of attitude and history to your outfit that no other shoe can replace. They're an investment in style that will never go out of style, and will be with you for years to come.
