- Fresh off a collaboration with California eyewear company, GLCO, Slam Jam has collaborated with Converse on a timeless reinterpretation of the Chuck Taylor All Star.
- As the shoe that arguably defined the 1970s, the Chuck 70 was an integral part of basketball culture, in terms of function and utility.
- Slam Jam founder Luca Benini, who continues to draw inspiration from American culture from the '70s and '80s, sought to approach the classic silhouette through the lens of deconstruction.
- The edges of the upper are frayed to incite a refined but modern punk-rock aesthetic.
- The shoe comes with a white pinstripe rubber outsole, loose-lined black textile upper with a sleekly printed Slam Jam logo.
