Classic Chucks. Remastered.

 

This image shows a designer’s workspace featuring detailed hand-drawn sketches of the Converse First String shoe, including side, top, front, and rear views on translucent tracing paper. Surrounding the sketches are drafting tools such as metal rulers, fine-tip pens, masking tape on fabric swatches, and graph paper, highlighting a precise and creative footwear design process.
The image shows the Converse All Star logo on the left and a detailed sketch of a sneaker’s top view on the right. In the center, maroon text reads “Superiority In Craft,” highlighting quality craftsmanship.

Superiority In Craft

 

The Chuck Taylor All Star design has always been tried and true—
canvas, rubber, laces, grommets and grit. In the First String lineage,
that foundation gets built upon with intention. It's sturdier, with
elevated materials, and carries its heritage with pride. It's not trying to
reinvent the form—it's reminding you why the form of the Chuck
matters in the first place.

 

First String treats the Chuck Taylor All Star as an artifact of craft,
preserving the purest expression of Converse design while propelling
it forward.

 

Built With Intention. Designed To Last. Made To Be Felt.
