\n\tThe Run Star Crush turns the familiar Chuck Taylor All-Stars into something more playful, with exaggerated proportions, a curved platform and a lightweight build that gives everyday outfits a noticeable lift. The shoes are for anyone who thinks classic sneakers could use a little more attitude. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Run Star Crush in egret is the counterpart of the black version above. Available in sizes 3-13 for men and 4.5 to 14 for women, fit experts say these shoes run a tad on the large side, and recommend getting a half-size smaller than usual. <\/p>\n

\n\tKarina has also modeled the Chuck 70 X, which keeps the recognizable shape of the original Chuck while giving it a sharper, more modern finish. The upgraded footwear features dual-star accents on the rubber bumper and top eyelets, an updated leather patch logo, subtly aged toe cap and foxing, plus a tongue stabilizer designed for comfort and everyday wear.\u00a0The collection comes in a variety of colors in both high and low tops. The Chuck 70 X is available now in China and Korea, with a global launch on August 27.<\/p>\n
