Center High-Top Black/Gum

Evoking the muted tones of aged paper and classic airmail envelopes, The Center High-Top Black/Gum embodies a nostalgic yet elevated look.

First introduced in 1944, The Center helped rewrite what a canvas sneaker could be. Before then, most canvas sneakers were flimsy. We changed that. Thanks to our roots in high-performance rubber tire manufacturing and the invention of the Posture Foundation insole, we built a canvas sneaker with staying power.

That same spirit lives on today in this bold black sneaker. It’s a durable, dependable, and endlessly wearable canvas sneaker that combines retro character with modern upgrades, helping it hold up wherever the day takes you.

• Posture Foundation Insole: Our signature stability feature, developed using 1930s tire tech and reengineered for everyday wear.
• 10oz Canvas Upper: Durable fabric inspired by vintage materials, built to take a hit and still age beautifully.
• Rubber Toe Cap: Functional and iconic, our signature toe cap keeps your shoes protected.
• Gum Rubber Outsole: For old-school traction and long-haul durability.
