The Converse One Star is making a strong comeback aided by Lunarlon for a performance twist. It’s hard to believe that this silhouette was once a dominant choice in the basketball world, found on the feet of plenty of college and NBA players in the early to mid-70s. Converse has since repurposed the One Star much like it has with the iconic Chuck Taylor – with the predominant use being lifestyle wear and skating. Spring 2016 is bringing a bolstered “Hairy Suede” construction in four new colorways ranging from red, black, royal, and yellow. A vulcanized outsole utilizes a simple black solid stripe striking through while a white star branding leaves its mark on the side panels. The hallmark rugged suede tooling adds some lifestyle depth while the hidden Lunarlon cushioning brings a modern feel with maximum comfort. Overseas retailers are stocking the pair today, so expect a stateside arrival by month’s end.
