How to style the Converse Chuck High

A true old school classic that you can never go wrong with is with a Converse Chuck High silhouette. However, sometimes you need a little inspiration on how best to style a trainer. No worries we'll help you!

Check out some inspiration on how to style your favourite Converse Hi here.

Converse Chuck High

The label old school is actually an understatement for this trainer, as the silhouette was introduced back in 1917 under the name Non-Skids. A few years later, the name of the Hi-top model was changed due to the influence of basketball player Chuck Taylor. The athlete gave Converse advice on redesigning the shoe, which is why the silhouette was named after him.

To this day, the Converse Chuck 70 is an unbeatable favourite. Besides the fact that many musicians and artists have been captured by the signature canvas and rubber trainer, many fashion and streetwear brands are also interested in the model. For instance, everyone knows the Comme Des Garcons or Off-White collaborations with Converse.
