The Converse All Star Chuck '70 Down Jacket is a gorgeous winter sneaker that fuses the legendary Converse sneaker aesthetic with the utility and touch of a luxury down jacket. The sneaker even features the classic diamond-quilted style more closely associated with down jackets than sneakers, and is perfectly suited for frigidly hostile temperatures.
The shoe is stuffed with authentic Gray Duck Down and is padded with an 80-20 ratio of down and feathers -- the same ratio used in high quality down jackets.
The Converse All Star Chuck '70 Down Jacket is a limited edition collection, so act fast if you want to get your feet into this snug and eye-catching offering. The shoe will be available for purchase starting Friday November 28 at select Converse retail stores and Converse's website for a suggested retail price of $100.
