Up for sale is an exceptionally rare pair of original 1960s Converse Athletic Shoes. These are true mid-century beautifully preserved in clean condition. This specific historical model belongs to the specialized Converse "Team/Coach" line rather than standard commercial Chuck Taylors. It showcases a deep-grooved corrugated vertical "bumper" toe guard and thick, high-wrap vulcanized rubber foxing accented with a crisp, deep red contrast piping line.
These sneakers are in stunning vintage condition. The white canvas is sharp, displaying minor, uniform age-related storage toning that adds to its authentic mid-century character. The vulcanized rubber sidewalls, ribbed bumpers, and molded ankle accents are extraordinarily well-preserved.
This item manufactured in the mid-1960s (approximately 60+ years old). While the shoes are in pristine condition, they are strictly being sold as a vintage collector’s display piece and historical archive item only.
Shipping - Due to 60+ year old sneakers, they will be padded internally with acid-free tissue paper to preserve the canvas structure and shipped securely double-boxed. Tracked signature delivery is included. International transit is fully supported via the eBay International Shipping program
Due to the natural, unavoidable aging process of mid-century vulcanized rubber and factory adhesives over six decades, wearability cannot be guaranteed. The structural integrity of the components under actual physical use is entirely unknown.
Priority Shipping, + additional Shipping Insurance provided.
Signature Required upon delivery.
