best price ive seen on these in a while since the rrp was hiked up to $150. and theyre black! so no objectionable colours this time
chuck 70s are the higher quality version - there's a very tangible comfort difference compared to the all stars.
still a good amount of stock left as of posting, but you'll have to get in quick if you're in a larger size. having said that, you may need to size down - i found that i needed to with the 70s but not the all stars.
Yes, but they are still too expensive. $99.99 hard pass!
maybe, but good luck finding them much cheaper - the blacks especially even hold their value pretty well on the 2nd hand market
Ordered for $99.00
amended title, cheers
Vans Filmore for the big footed (US11 only), $59.95 delivered, $50 c&c if you can find them) at Myer.
So much better buying from Converse online.
Loads of hightop chucks from $50 upwards.
I've bought about 35 pairs over the last two years and haven't paid more than $70 a pair for any of them and most are limited editions which you won;t find at even the brick and mortar Converse shops.

like i said in the post this is for the original black pair of 70s. the same shoe from the converse store is at the $150 rrp i mentioned.
also, the sneakers starting at $50 are the worse-quality all star models. if you want a chuck 70 that's in this sort of style, you're looking at spending at least $70 + shipping on there.
so not the fairest comparison. but if you want a limited edition colour, go for it.
Thanks OP.
First pair of 70s I've owned and you're right in that they're a big upgrade on the all stars.
Glad that I grabbed a pair to compare.
you can definitely feel the difference more than you'd expect! how do you find the sizing/fit?
Yeah I was a bit worried about the sizing as I usually wear a US 10 and ordered the 9.5's.
Surprisingly they actually feel like a better fit.
Nice, the 70s edition is definitely the one to go for. The standard ones even in hand feel off compared to the ones from pre Covid.
