The Converse All-Star has been done and seen in a seemingly endless array of colors, patterns and material treatments, and it’s rare that the simple doesn’t prove best. Converse paired with Woolrich outdoor clothing company for these Chucks, changing the make-up and adding in some small details to give them a rugged and clean look.

As you can see right away, the traditional canvas uppers were switched out for a blue and black flannel. And of course, these feature the standard white vulcanized sole, but a noticeable change is the switch from a white toe cap to black, which better matches the uppers. The laces also appear to be waxed, adding durability and a little gloss to them. If you’re a Converse fan, you can grab these for this coming Winter starting now.

This year, the Converse Chuck Taylor has been spotted in many different styles and colorways including the Chuck Taylor Zipper Pack, the Chuck Taylor Hi Strap and the (Product)RED Chuck Taylor “Lupe Fiasco”. In addition, Converse now adds another attribute to the Chuck Taylor in the form of this All-Star Low “Quilted” Pack.

Obviously, by noticing its nickname, each Chuck Taylor All Star Low features an all-over quilted pattern design throughout the base. As added details, these shoes also feature tonal shoelaces, a tonal toe cap and white accents in the form of a vulcanized rubber sole, the inner lining and the Converse logo tag (tongue). Colorways include orange, red and black. Available now at select Converse retailers. Click here to view the collection in its entirety.
