CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR '70 HI — WHITE LEATHER — INTERIM SAMPLE / PROTOTYPE
A true grail for Chuck Taylor collectors — this is a genuine Converse "Interim Sample" pair of the Chuck Taylor All Star '70 Hi, made in premium sleek white leather and never issued to the public. It still carries its original red-and-green Converse sample development tag with the full production spec sheet attached (colorway ID, materials, last, outsole code, development center, and 2015 sample date). If you collect prototypes, factory samples, or archival Converse product, this is a one-of-a-kind piece of design history you won't find anywhere else.

Condition Notes
Condition: Pre-Production Sample, Unworn. Being thorough and honest here so there are no surprises:
● Outsoles show no wear or flattening — tread is crisp and clean, consistent with an unworn sample
● A visible crease/dent is present in the leather upper near the eyelets on one shoe (see close-up photo) — this appears to be a factory/storage crease in the leather rather than wear from use
● Light yellowish soiling and handling marks are visible on the white rubber toe cap of one shoe (see close-up photo)
● Faint scattered marks are visible on the white leather upper in a few spots, consistent with age and handling of a stored sample
● Original Converse sample tag is intact with a torn/worn attachment point from age, but the full printed data panel is fully legible
● No original shoebox included
● Please review all photos closely, as they are considered part of the item description
