Off-White Converse Chuck 70 ‘The Ten’ Vulcanized Sample | Size 9

Released in 2017, “The Ten”, created in collaboration with designer Virgil Abloh, was one of the fastest and most ambitious collaborations Nike has ever produced, taking about ten months from ideation to release. 

The set is divided into two different design categories, named “REVEALING” and “GHOSTING”.

“REVEALING” consists of pairs that are meant to feel “accessible”, using design techniques to look hand-cut, open-sourced, and rebuilt.

“GHOSTING” features translucent uppers, with the goal to further the concept of revealing, while also uniting the second set of silhouettes through common material. 

Featured in the ‘GHOSTING’ series, the Chuck 70 Vulcanized is Abloh’s re-imagination of one of the most timeless sneakers ever created. This sample, slightly different from the wider release of the sneaker features a textile upper, as opposed to the translucent rubber upper,  a vulcanized outsole, and Off-White branding on the medial side. This pair is also sample stamped on the interior of the tongue.
