The legendary Converse Chuck Taylor All Star is getting remade.

Sure the sneaker has been iterated and tweaked countless times since its debut in 1917, but this new version of the shoe, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 2, marks the first time that the brand is issuing a true sequel.

As Converse is a part of the Nike Inc. umbrella, the sneaker benefits from the innovative technology of the Swoosh. There is a Nike Lunarlon sockliner, foam padding on the collar, a micro-suede liner for breathability, and more.

The good news is that the additions don't impact the price too much. The new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 2 will sell for $75 in its hi-top form and $70 in the low "ox" build when it releases on July 28.
