Miles nicer. comfortable thanks to improved sole and arch support, band that holds tongue perfectly in place etc.
Only thing is they’re like £15-20 more and indie kids seem to have not even given them a go, so I’ve heard rumours they’re being discontinued? Shame because I can’t even wear the old style converse. Glad I bought like 5 pairs of the new style.
Think they’ll still do some with the improved soles but no idea really
