Converse Made New Chuck Taylors for 8 NBA Teams Before All-Star Weekend
Now that Nike once again has the rights to the NBA, it’s making the most of its partnership by releasing more Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers inspired by some of the league’s top squads just ahead of All-Star Weekend on Friday.
Available in six “Franchise” ($100) styles and four “Legends” ($125) looks, this latest collection uses the retro-inspired Chuck 70 as its base, tying back to the iconic sneaker’s roots on the basketball hardwood.
The “Franchise” Chuck 70 range features washed-canvas uppers with screen-printed logos and colors teams including the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.
Meanwhile, for those who prefer a more subtle approach, there’s the “Legends” Chuck 70 options, which highlight the history of teams including the Cavaliers, Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers with color-blocked canvas uppers equipped with zippers and discreet details.
