The Chuck Taylor All Star is one of the most iconic sneakers of all time, recognized for its clear silhouette and cultural authenticity.
Origin
Created in 1917 as a non-slip basketball shoe, the All Star was initially advertised for superior on-court performance by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor. But over the decades, it "escaped" the four lines of the court and became one of the most historic shoes in the history of sneakers.

I can't understand if it's genuine leather or not because it got stained with a little bit of chlorine and faded. Also, I do not recommend buying them at full price.
Other than that, they are durable, beautiful, and very comfortable (for flat soles)
Classic boot, wonderful in black genuine leather, that we buy again and again, as a family! Maybe it needs half a size bigger than what you usually wear.
I would suggest getting them at least half a size larger because I got them in my size and they are tight on me. After a long walk, my feet will definitely hurt and they will have hit me. Despite all this, they fit very nicely.
Beautiful, comfortable but not at all durable: I also have an issue with the sole that has started to come off after a short walk. The Chuck 70s are definitely more "heavy duty"...
I have them for a few days now and they are excellent! The foot is comfortable inside and they are pleasant to walk in. As for their durability, I don't know yet, but I will update my review over time. So far, value for money!

The only thing that bothered me is that in the left shoe, the tongue constantly goes to the sides, causing me to constantly bend down a little to bring it back to the center. Strangely, this happens mainly in the left shoe. I believe they should have fixed this tongue issue, as they did with other Converse shoes (see Converse All Star Chuck Taylor II Hi).
Other than that, excellent so far and the sole is definitely more improved. Not once did water enter them, as some people claim, even in cases of heavy rain.

Without any rough use, as I take good care of my shoes, the entire surrounding part that holds the shoe started to come off completely and the glue completely came off. It's a shame because they are very nice shoes, but unfortunately, their durability is not good at all, as mentioned by several reviews below. Of course, you can fix them with some glue and they will be fine again, but I mention it so that those interested in buying them are aware.

They started to come apart from everywhere, the glue is useless.
Unfortunately, it is a very bad shoe choice. They are uncomfortable, they tire you out when you walk for a long time, and the soles came off after 6 months. Also, even though they are leather, they easily let in water. The quality is very poor compared to the price.
Really beautiful and convenient, they withstand harsh wear and tear, but there is an issue with the heel with the lunarplon, as it does offer good waterproofing, but it easily breaks at that point.
The price is worth it... I bought these this month, and I've been wearing them for sure 7 months a year, almost every day (I don't wear them in the summer)! Compared to canvas shoes that break immediately, so it doesn't make sense to spend more than 20 euros, these last.. the only thing that has broken is the heel from the inside and my cotton socks get eaten up, but I will see how much it costs to fix them because the rest of the shoe, besides a little dirt and a few scratches, hasn't suffered anything! I don't know if I have exactly the same model because it may have changed, but I assume the leather, etc. is the same... a very durable shoe and I didn't expect that from Converse!
