John Varvatos is well-known for coming through with worn-looking, yet sophisticated takes on some of Converse's more classic silhouettes. Here the heralded designer outfits the always-popular Chuck Taylor with a unique zipper around the ankle. The black leather high-tops then feature a tattered midsole sitting underneath, which matches the toe cap. Tonal laces round out the drop, as you can purchase this pair now through Concepts for $170.
