Converse One Star ’74

Converse always seems to star relevant with even its most classic designs. The One Star originally released in, you guessed it, 1974, but is back for 2009 in 6 different colorways.

All six uppers color choices–Amber Yellow, Black, Dark Denim, Green, Red and Mulberry Purple–sit on, you guessed it again, a white vulcanized sole. One thing you probably didn’t expect though is the material choice of suede. All six pairs are lined with leather and feature a star on the side, though the Amber Yellow pair uses black in both places, while the others use white leather and suede.

For those who find the Chuck Taylor a little too minimal, the One Star‘s a nice substitute, adding in details like contrast stitching and actual padding. All six pairs are available now Converse’s online store and other retailers.
