A Closer Look at the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas

Converse is taking wet weather head-on this season, combining classic sneaker designs with premium weatherized features, with the debut of the Fall/Holiday 2016 Converse Counter Climate Footwear Collection. We take a closer look at the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas in Black Reflective. More pictures below!

Converse’s new collections provide the necessary tools to combat the climate shifts while emphasizing essential weather-beating benefits. The innovative sneaker collections feature a bold mix of colors and materials including water repellent canvas, rubber and leather, and waterproof neoprene.

Each sneaker has been treated to help tackle rainy weather while maintaining comfort and style but the Converse Counter Climate Shield Canvas sneakers have been given a DWR (durable water repellant) treatment, standing guard as the first line of defense against the rain.

The sneaks combine the enhanced comfort of a Lunarlon sockliner, non-slip padded tongue and micro-suede lining with materials that can also withstand most climate challenges.

A water repellent Shield Canvas and a gusseted tongue has been added, as well as removing the medial eyelets to make a durable sneaker that is ready for wet and rainy adventures.
