The latest sneaker to emerge from Converse’s archive is the Star Player 76. A nod to the brand’s legacy in basketball, the Star Player 76 sports design cues from that era of basketball. The sneaker boasts a full canvas upper, low-top silhouette, vulcanised sole, mesh lining and vintage-style herringbone outsole with brick pattern – a staple combination among Converse sneakers that dropped in the ’70s. Even today, these design details give the Star Player 76 excellent traction on most surfaces and the right balance of breathability and structure for dependable lockdown.
