The Chuck Taylor All Star has been around for a very long time. This timeless design was the top basketball sneaker until the 1960s.

However, it was able to cross cultures and has become a famous street style sneaker among the kids in the yards, artists, and musicians. It also successfully paved its way to pop culture. 

From then until today, what you wear defines different cultures, and the brand has been redefining it with you. Whether on the court or in the streets, the Chuck Taylor All Star remains iconic. A market staple for a long time, the Chuck Taylor All Star has been released in various versions, different colorways, and collaborative editions.

Among the many iterations of the famous Chuck Taylor All-Star is the Chuck Taylor All Star Lugged High Top, which was released with a familiar but completely different silhouette. This model inherited Chuck Taylor features that everyone knows and loves. The classic high-top Chuck Taylor All Star comes with an updated chunky sole with deep lugs, which not only adds height to its wearers, but it also provides superior grip on a variety of surfaces.
