The All Star Ox & All Star Hi Shoes Now Come in Waterproof Fabric

— January 5, 2025 — Fashion
Converse is making its signature All Star Ox and All Star Hi sneakers more functional with the debut of a new waterproof fabric.

Designed for most types of weather, the new versions of the All Star Ox and All Star Hi sneakers feature a waterproof, yet breathable fabric that helps to keep them dry on rainy days. Both shoes are also crafted with Converse’s REACT2.0 high-performance insoles and signature white rubber heel plate. Since the new fabric comes in a 'Dark Taupe' hue, you'll find a bespeckled dark taupe outsole paired with a sleek white midsole and crisp white laces for a versatile, yet contemporary look.

The waterproof All Star Ox and All Star Hi sneakers will be released on January 28, 2025.
