By 1970, the Chuck had evolved to become the pinnacle of function and utility for sport, and was considered the best basketball sneaker ever. The Chuck 70 is built off of the original 1970s design, with premium materials and an extraordinary attention to detail. A shoe so rooted in tradition that it has its own instant history. That's the Chuck 70. It's not a shoe. It's the shoe.

I've been buying Chuck 70s since they were introduced and I've been through many pairs. These were noticeably lighter as soon as I took them out of the box. I compared the weights of a pair from two years ago and these: 440g vs 380g. They look cheaper, they feel cheaper, they are cheaper. Completely defeats the purpose of the Chuck 70s.
Very comfortable, with a better insole
Nike User
The 70s version is much more comfortable than the Classic Chuck All Stars. The insole in the 70s has thicker padding. This is my second pair of 70s, purchased in classic black/black/egret. The fit for all All Stars is long and narrow for a given size. I wish I could get a wider version, since I have a high instep and need more room (volume) over the instep for a given size.
