We are so used to seeing the classic Chuck Taylor in canvas, that the Leather Pack offers a very different look. Here is the navy leather version of the Converse Chuck Taylor.

The colorway is very simple, yet still special. Navy is a nice change of pace compared to black. You can get these kicks right now at UNDFTD in both the high and low versions. I don’t like the Low at all, but the Hi isn’t bad. Via High Snobiety.

Barneys New York has hooked up with Converse on these cool Chuck Taylor All Star Hi’s. Featuring a perforated patent leather upper, these shoes are a beautiful choice.

These Chuck Taylors come in red, white or black and will be available soon at Barneys stores for $95 a pair. The red pair is my favorite but the black are also interesting because they have a gold tongue. Via Complex.
