It’s a thinner, lighter, beach-ier version of the authentic Chuck—re-engineered to perfection. The Dainty sneaker gets a total shift in proportions with an even daintier eyelet, lace, and tongue label to match the beloved ultralow profile. Smaller toecap and new foxing height lend a cleaner feminine silhouette to the shoe. Even better.

Created in 1917 as a non-skid basketball shoe, the All Star was originally promoted for its superior court performance by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor. But over the decades, something incredible happened: The sneaker, with its timeless silhouette and unmistakable ankle patch, was organically adopted by rebels, artists, musicians, dreamers, thinkers and originals.
