India, 15 May 2025: Y2K fashion has been causing a stir online recently. Think low-rise jeans, trucker hats and matching sweatsuits, and much like all good things from the time, the iconic knee-high Chucks. First launched in 2006, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star XXHi – dubbed the ‘Knee-High’ by fans – quickly became a pop culture staple spotted on celebrities, musicians and trendsetters alike. Now, after 18 years, the fan-favourite is making its much-anticipated comeback.
It’s not just the Y2K girlies who were obsessed with this iconic silhouette. Even today, fans are searching far and wide for these vintage pairs and hoping for the classic’s return. In case you’ve been unsuccessfully scouring resale platforms and vintage marketplaces, you’re in luck – Converse is bringing back the Chuck Taylor All Star XXHi as part of continuing to celebrate its legacy by reimagining some of its classics.
The Converse Knee High maintains the OG design of its 2006 predecessor while retrofitting nostalgia with today’s design language. It flips the script with the modern, more comfortable Chuck Taylor All Star as its foundation, hosting a distinctly elongated 14-inch canvas upper that hugs the calf and falls below the knee. The pair is equipped with an extra-long set of laces for easy styling and fit adjustments, while a full-length back zipper makes slipping in and out easy. Furthermore, taking cues from a grunge-inspired vibe that’s edge and punk subculture, the Knee High is rooted in Converse’s ethos of style and self-expression – it is for modern women who are ready to experiment and make a bold statement with every step they take.
The high-tops are available in grey colourway and are grounded in comfort with OrthoLite cushioning. Priced at ₹6,999, the Chuck Taylor All Star XXHi is now available exclusively on www.converse.in.
