Converse has been a footwear icon for over a century, but with Converse sales reportedly declining and Nike-owned Converse searching for a new direction, we had to investigate the most controversial release yet: a $225 premium Chuck Taylor. In this cut-in-half teardown, we compare the Converse All Star First String High ($225) vs the Chuck 70 ($95) and the classic Chuck Taylor All-Star ($65), testing canvas thickness, puncture resistance, abrasion potential, lining materials, insole comfort, air unit gimmicks, outsole rubber, durometer, ball/bar drop impact, and—most importantly—whether Converse fixed the biggest weakness of Chucks: vulcanized sole separation and long-term durability. Does the First String actually deliver superior materials and craftsmanship, or is it mostly the appearance of premium—thicker canvas, leather lining, and a Vibram tag—without the internal upgrades that justify a $150 price jump? If you’ve ever wondered which Converse are worth buying, how the Chuck 70 compares to regular Chucks, and whether a “luxury Chuck Taylor” can really be worth it, this is the definitive breakdown.
