The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Shield Hi is a utilitarian redesign of the hoops classic for winter. Updated in December 2018, this variant's Obsidian canvas upper features Counter Climate technology to repel water, a contrast toe cap and padded leather collar. Premium upgrades consist of tonal metal eyelets, a two-tone All-Star ankle patch and hiking-inspired laces. The sneaker's vulcanized rubber sole is tooled with rugged Waffle tread.
