After staying out of the limelight for a few months, Virgil Abloh‘s remastered Converse Chuck Taylor may re-release sooner than fans thought. Though it wasn’t part of the recent “The Ten” drops, the shoe did initially launch last year when Abloh’s collection first debuted as part of the “Ghosting” shoes.
