To celebrate the launch of the all-new Chuck 70 AT-CX, Converse teamed up with rising R&B star Rasharn Powell to host an exclusive dining experience, full of good food and good vibes with members of Rasharn’s creative community.

Some of the brightest emerging talents were in attendance at the invite-only event, which was curated by Rasharn and took place a ‘70s inspired setting. This perfectly encapsulated the timeless nature of the Chuck 70 AT-CX; though the model is new, it strikes the perfect balance of innovation and heritage.

Elevating the universally recognised high-top Converse silhouette to new heights, the Chuck 70 AT-CX features a chunky CX foam midsole and sockliner, making this one of the most comfy Converse silhouettes yet. It also boasts canvas uppers, All Star branding and a diamond lugged sole for traction you can always rely on.

The Chuck 70 AT-CX is certainly an instant All Star classic, and just as this model seamlessly merges the old with the new, so too does Rasharn through his music. Rasharn was the obvious choice to host this launch event – he is a rising star within the British R&B scene, who isn’t afraid to march to the beat of his own drum.

His blend of classic R&B sounds with influences from Hip-Hop, Soul and Alternative music has helped him garner a reputation for producing ‘Renaissance R&B’, with genre-bending sounds which are for, in Rasharn’s own words, ‘those who don’t fit in with what society expects of them.’ Stay tuned for plenty more to come from this very exciting talent.
