It might be one of the most iconic shoes ever made but alas, even the Chuck Taylor All Star has to evolve in order to keep up with the fast-pace of the sneaker market.

As such, Converse is revamping the now-ubiquitous shoe, especially for millennials.

The new Chuck Modern collection, which will drop in six batches, has been redesigned in order to target urban teenagers who wake up early and are out all day.

So, what exactly does it look like?

The first release will see the launch of the Chuck Modern Lux which hits exclusively at US stores KITH and BLENDS tomorrow.

The simple design is only available in black or white

The most premium version of the shoe, the Lux, which incidentally will set you back around £112, does away with all the hallmark Chuck touches we know and love; there’s no contrast stitching, rubber toe box or circular Converse logo.

Instead, the sneaker has been super-simplified with monochromatic colour ways, a one-piece Phylon bottom and an upper crafted from supple leather.

Even the traditional cloth laces have been ditched in favour of contemporary leather ones.

But why have Converse decided to change arguably the most universally-loved shoe ever so drastically?

The last time it attempted a redesign of the Chuck Taylor, the Chuck II in 2015, Converse purposely held back on making any radical changes and found that interest flailed.

It makes sense then that they should go for a much deeper overhaul this time round.

The newer, sleeker and paired-back version reflects the brands efforts to keep up with today’s youth and stay relevant in the competitive sneaker market. Converse has to grow with its consumer.
