Converse Chuck Taylor AS OX

Converse Chuck Taylor AS OXWhen a product is selling for a charitable cause, it’s often the only reason it’s selling. Somehow Converse has been able to avoid that trend with its Product(Red) releases though, as they’ve put out some pretty nice designs out. They even had success pairing with heavyweight HUF on the Skidgrip. This next design, a Chuck Taylor AS OX, is also beneficial to charity and is a nice design for a classic silhouette.

These feature an all grey suede upper with a matching vulcanized sole. The real design feature to make note of is the leopard print inside. Like all of the Product(Red) releases we see, the top eyelet is red, denoting its charitable nature. These are available online now.

Its all-white leather base is accompanied by matching premium leather shoelaces.
