The upper of the Converse Classic and Converse 1970s are both made from soft Canvas, but the fabric of the 1970s is smoother with tighter weaves. While the upper of the Converse Classic is only sewn with an outer fabric layer and an inner lining layer, the Converse 1970s is also processed with an additional lining layer in the middle, giving the shoe body a thicker and more sturdy look, still keeping its shape even without the shoe insert. In return, the Converse Classic shoes will give you lightness when wearing.
