The difference between Converse 1970s and Evergreen models. Are Converse shoes easy to match?

When it comes to Converse canvas shoes, many people will recommend Converse 1970S. Converse 1970S is a very classic and popular series. Many fashion trendsetters like to wear Converse 1970S. There is a certain difference between Converse 1970S and ordinary evergreen models.

The classic model is the evergreen model of All Star. The evergreen model is the model that has always existed. New stock will be released every quarter of the year. The 1970s belongs to All Star, but it is a replica model. Replica means that the shoes that have been released before are made again with close to the original craftsmanship. This is a bit like a limited edition, but it is not a limited edition. There is only one batch of goods. Once they are sold out, they will be gone. However, the quantity will be much larger than the limited edition. At the beginning, the inventory of 1970s was very small. After it was sold out, it could not be replenished for a long time. Unlike the current large inventory, if you don’t have the concept of 1970s in your mind, you can’t tell the difference between the two shoes from a distance. I went to the counter before, and I pointed to the 1970s black high on my feet and asked her if she had this model. She pointed to the classic model on the counter. The clerks in the store couldn’t tell the difference, let alone ordinary customers. In fact, the two shoes are completely different. Except for the appearance, there is no comparability. The simplest way to put it is that the 1970s is a comprehensive thickening design of the classic model, but the shoe shape is different. To put it simply, the 1970s is a classic with a thicker design, but the shoe shape is different.

【1】Shoe type and color

The shoes of the 1970s are slender, with narrow toe caps and asymmetrical mudguards. The toe caps are more pointed than the classic models. The toe caps of the classic models are larger, and some are rounder or more pointed depending on the origin. But compared with the 1970s models, they are fat. The color of the 1970s shoe edges is ivory white with a hint of beige. The black shoes do not look very obvious, but the white shoes will have a slightly larger color difference. The classic models have a more pure white color.

[2] The soles of the 1970s shoes are harder and thicker, and the insoles are thickened, making them more comfortable to wear. Compared with the classic models, the color, texture and quality of the soles are different.

Pay attention to details: The soles of 1970s shoes are fiber-wrapped, which was a feature of Converse a long time ago and has been cancelled. Now, all Converse shoes except 1970s do not have fiber-wrapped soles. It is hard to tell when new shoes are worn, but if you look at the soles, you will see a lot of threads on the edges. Pay more attention to 1970s shoes, and avoid soaking the soles in water for a long time. If they get wet, you must dry them in time, otherwise they will easily come apart. This is a common problem of 1970s shoes.

【3】The canvas of the 1970s is thicker and tougher than the classic style, so the shoes will appear more three-dimensional, while the classic style looks soft and saggy.

【4】The stitching on the shoe is different. The stitching on the side of the shoe and the stitching on the heel are all different.

【5】The logo on the heel is different. When it was first released in the 1970s, the logo on the heel was black and said "allstar". Later it was changed to a three-star logo. At first, the three-star logo was limited edition. Gradually, I couldn't tell what was considered a limited edition. Now the ordinary black logo is out of print.

[6] The shoelaces in the 1970s were thick, very thick cotton shoelaces, very long, off-white, and the classic shoelaces were bleached and very thin.

[7] Tongue. This is my favorite design. In the 1970s, there was a red seal inside the tongue. It was not actually a seal, but a place to write your name. It was only on one shoe. Converse used to be a basketball shoe. Because the shoes were hard to tell apart by appearance, players often wore the wrong shoes. So players would write their names on the tongue. This is the meaning of this red seal.

【8】The shoe boxes are different. The shoe boxes of the 1970s and the classic models were the same at the beginning. At that time, the logo on the heel of the shoe was a black standard logo. After it was changed to the Samsung logo, the shoe box became pink, and the moisture-proof paper in the shoe box was also different. This is the difference in my eyes, not just the appearance. I don’t have pictures. If you really like the 1970s, buy a pair yourself and compare them in your hands, then you will have the most real feeling.

The Converse series is very easy to match. Many celebrities wear Converse, which instantly makes them look literary and artistic. They will never let you down. After putting them on, you will feel a very obvious heavy feeling, because the soles of Converse are thickened, which makes them more comfortable to wear. Converse shoes have been a hot item in the past two years.

Try not to wear 1970s and all star when exercising. After all, they are not shoes specifically designed for sports. They are just casual shoes. Moreover, the soles of 1970s and all star are flat and cannot grip the ground well. It is also easy to fall during exercise. The soles do not have a shock-proof design. It is more likely to get injured when wearing these shoes for exercise. It is best not to wear these shoes for long-term running.

The shoe box is the easiest place to distinguish 1970s and allstar. The shoe box of genuine shoes is also very well made. First of all, the printed logo is very clear, there will be no unclear phenomenon, and there will be no fading. There will be two stickers in the shoe box of genuine shoes, both of which contain basic information of the shoes. The soles of 1970s and allstar shoes are thickened, and they feel heavy in the hand. There was an experiment on the Internet before that threw the shoes into the air. The soles landed first, which is real. It is because the soles are heavy that the sales of Converse series shoes can be so high, which is inseparable from the design of the soles. After wearing them, the soles are very comfortable. Looking at the upper is a basic method of Converse. The real 1970s and allstar shoes have a pull strip next to them. The pull strip is very small but the cost is very high, so counterfeit products will not easily imitate this. The logo on the upper has a bumpy feeling, you can touch it with your hand, and the logo is attached to the upper.
