Converse Chuck 70 GTX Hi Rusted Bolt Black

The Chuck 70 goes GORE-TEX, hairy suede texture with zero fear of rain.

The Chuck Taylor has never needed a reinvention to stay relevant — it's just shifted materials over the decades, from the hardwood to the sidewalk, without ever losing its silhouette. This Rusted Bolt Black colorway pushes the Chuck 70 into territory it hadn't really touched before: technical performance. A direct pairing of hairy suede leather and a GORE-TEX membrane, built to give the icon a real functional upgrade without touching what made it legendary in the first place.

The hairy suede leather upper, in a deep rusted colorway, runs a dense, slightly fuzzy texture that completely changes the usual material read of a Chuck Taylor. The GORE-TEX membrane, built into that textured surface, makes the whole upper water resistant — water genuinely beads on the leather instead of soaking in. The reinforced toe cap, midsole, and laces, all in matte black, structure the shoe and contrast hard against the rusted upper. The Chuck Taylor ankle patch, here in tonal suede rather than the usual rubber, keeps the model's signature detail while matching this more premium material approach. The All Star license plate on the heel closes out the build with a nod to the silhouette's history.

OrthoLite cushioning takes over underfoot for a stable walking feel, no matter how many miles get logged around the city. The GORE-TEX membrane delivers real water-resistant protection without ever giving up breathability or adding bulk. The reinforced black rubber toe cap protects the front of the foot from impact and wear, a key feature for a pair built for heavy daily rotation. The result: the Chuck 70's heritage look stays fully intact, while the feel underfoot gets a clear technical upgrade — this pair holds up in any weather without ever losing its identity.
