Despite its simplistic design with a rubber sole and canvas upper, it quickly transcended sports to become a staple of American fashion and a symbol of rebellion. Over the decades, collaborations with brands like COMME des GARÇONS, A-COLD-WALL*, and JW Anderson have reimagined the timeless silhouette, confirming the Chuck Taylor's status as an enduring icon in the world of footwear.
