The Converse Chuck Taylor Hollis Hi remixes the usual popular high-top into a black leather powerhouse.
In keeping with the standard outline of the coveted sneaker, the Chuck Taylor Hollis Hi incorporates the familiar long tongue and shape to keep the shoe familiar to devoted fans. The differences can be seen in the thick gum sole that has deep grooves and ridges to add a bit of edge to your step. The high-tops also carry a "don't mess" attitude with the black leather replacing the regular flexible fabric. For an added bonus, the back of the kicks also include a difference in cross-stitching and a standout black ribbon forming a triangle. This insures that you will definitely leave a lasting impression when you walk away.
