While everyone chases the next chunky drop, the humble Converse Chuck Taylor just keeps selling, quietly, by the millions. It is, by most counts, the best-selling sneaker of all time, a design that started life as a 1917 basketball shoe and never really changed. In a hype-exhausted market, that timelessness is exactly why it is climbing again in India.
Here is the lineup worth knowing, plus the one thing everyone should understand: the difference between a standard Chuck and the premium Chuck 70.
1. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, Black

The original and still the one. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in black at Rs 5,039 is the canvas high-top that goes with literally everything, denim, shorts, a suit if you are brave. The default, and still the best first Converse.
2. Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback, Black

The Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback at Rs 5,219 leans into the vintage detailing fans love, the slightly aged look that makes a new pair feel broken-in. A small upgrade on the classic for people who care about the little things.
3. Converse Chuck 70, Seasonal Color Brown

This is where the Chuck 70 comes in. The Chuck 70 in seasonal brown at Rs 3,851 is the premium reissue, better canvas, a plusher footbed and that glossy egret midstripe. Brown is the colour of the season, and the Chuck 70 is the connoisseur's Converse.
4. Converse Chuck 70, Vernal Pool

The Chuck 70 in Vernal Pool at Rs 3,851 brings a fresh, muted colourway to the premium silhouette. The same upgraded build, a more distinctive look. The pick for someone who already owns a black pair and wants something different.
5. Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel

For a little height and edge, the Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel at Rs 9,126 adds a subtle platform heel to the classic. It is the fashion-forward take, popular with anyone who wants the Chuck DNA with a modern twist.
6. Converse EDGLRD x Chuck 70 Hi

The statement piece. The EDGLRD x Converse Chuck 70 Hi in black and yellow at Rs 13,015 is the designer-collab take, a bold reimagining of the classic high-top and the priciest pick here. The pick for someone who wants a Chuck nobody else is wearing.
Chuck vs Chuck 70, and buying real
The one thing to know: a standard Chuck Taylor is the everyday classic, while the Chuck 70 is the premium reissue with heavier canvas, a cushioned footbed and better materials. If comfort and quality matter, pay up for the 70. If you just want the icon, the classic is perfect.
Converse is widely faked, so check the canvas texture, the stitching and the ankle patch, and buy authenticated. See more in our most popular sneakers guide and the sneakers section.
