Converse Chuck Taylor 1970s HiBlack, Green & Egret

Celebrating the legacy of Earl "Big Cat" Lloyd – who became the first African American player to play in an NBA game when he debuted for the Washington Capitols on 31 October 1950 – these Converse Chuck Taylors are built with smooth black satin uppers. Part of the brand’s Breaking Down Barriers series, they’re accented with brass-tone hardware and branded with a special edition heel plaque, marking the first time that another name has ever replaced Chuck Taylor's on the sneaker's licence plate.
