Converse Chuck 70 Shoe Review - https://youtu.be/Wo7k7tvozBE? Moonstar Alweather RF Beige Shoe Review - https://youtu.be/e7GhLMdySNM? QUICK ANSWER: We cut the Converse Japan Canvas All Star J HI ($96, made in Japan) in half against the regular Chuck Taylor ($65) and Chuck 70 ($95). The Japanese Chucks are the best Converse we've ever cut apart — and they fix the #1 problem with every vulcanized shoe. Unlike regular Chucks and Chuck 70s (strobel-stitched, where the foxing eventually lets go and your heel blows out), the J HI uses a board-lasted vulcanized construction we've never seen anywhere: both the upper AND the foxing tape tuck underneath the insole board, giving 2–3x the outsole contact so the sidewall can't peel open. It also has a reinforced heel counter, chunkier canvas weave, softer 55 Shore outsole (vs 70), better rebound (16.5" ball drop vs 11.5" and 13.5"), and noticeably finer stitching. The components — heel counter
