I am 68 years old born in 1955. When I was in high school, graduating in 1973, teenage boys wore Chuck Taylor's or PF Flyer sneakers. Chuck Taylor's were the most popular. Over the years, I didn't see teenage boys or men wearing Chuck Taylor's because I think they had stop making the Chuck Taylor's. In 2017, I purchased the white Converse All Stars and they took me back to my teenage years in the late 60's and early 70's. Unfortunately, the bottom sole on the All Stars weren't thick enough and walking on gravel or stepping on a cord hurt my feet. I have flat feet by the way. Yesterday, June 1, 2024, I purchased the Converse Chuck Taylor 70's because the bottom rubber is much thicker and they're a better upgrade from the All Stars. The cost was $90 dollars due to inflation and the economy. I have paid close to $200 for Nike sneakers from the Nike store. $90 was a good deal on the Converse Chuck 70's. I am glad I came across the Chuck 70's Parchment/Garnet/Egret color yesterday. I will wore them today with some black Levi jeans and a gray Polo shirt and a black NY Yankee's baseball cap.🤣 I am still trying to capture my youthful days.😁

2 minutes into the vid and i'm already convinced the 70's are the better choice, i've not worn chucks in a long time but i do remember the last pair i had being really uncomfortable, the extra padding is a must for me so now i know which ones to get! thank you very much!

Thank you very much for this video, it is exactly what I needed. My birthdays coming up and I didn’t know what to get myself also I’ve been in the market for new shoes but didn’t know where to look. I usually wear old school vans and all star converse but wanted to switch it up and the 70’s won me over. Thank you very much for the brief explanation of the difference between the two.

The original Allstars never did it for me, however, the 70’s are totally different. The high quality materials, thicker sole and the smaller, narrower toe cap make them look far better. I bough the 70’s in Parchment colour. I’m hooked, I’ll probably buy a black pair of 70’s in the future. Great video. Thanks.

So the 70's are basically PF Flyer's but with a 30$ price increase? Guess they can get away with that since PF Flyer's went out of business a couple years ago. Edit: PF Flyers are still being made, apparently. But the price went up to $80-$90. Oh well, can't have everything in life I guess.

P.S. I forgot to add, Chuck Taylor's today are unisex. Growing up in the 70's as a teenage boy, only teenage boys and young men wore Chuck Taylors. The world is very strange in 2024 with men dressing feminine and women dressing masculine.🤔

I wish the Chuck 70s had the loop on the tongue that you put the laces through to keep the tongue centered. The Chuck 70's tongue loop always slides to the side and I wish you could get the outsole in white and the black one was actually black instead of dark blueish.

I have the all stars in leather and the 70s in canvas. I use the all stars for lifting and I feel the leather look elevates my look in the gym. For going out and casual outings, I love the 70s for the thicker sole and higher quality materials and stitching.

I will say I recommend the all stars over the chuck Taylor for women who wear them for fashion, they’re much more foot forming and slightly more comfy and less bulky. They make your foot like petite and feel like a glove! Plus if you’re wearing them indoors mostly or on streets the thicker rugged heavier style of the converse doesn’t do much. 🎉

Stumbled on this vid as I am looking at replacing my everyday sneaks as they are splitting where the sole meets the rubber surrounds, both sides. They are Chuck 70 lows, that I thought where normal Chuck Taylors. Only realised that they were 70s after watching this vid. Tbh I was a bit disappointed. I usually wear my Chucks to destruction and this pair, in my opinion, failed prematurely. Not sure I'll replacing them with 70s....still thinking I have worn Converse sneaks almost exclusively for 40 years and have about 8 pairs on the go at the moment - mostly One Star
