Of course no shoes are going to last a lifetime but I’m trying to build a pretty good collection (are made in Japan converse worth it?)
I'm not sure if you bought a different version or not, but I bought Chuck 70 and they've held up extremely well for me. I've been working out in them six days a week for four years now and they're showing wear but still holding up.

Well I'm now going down a rabbit hole of Japanese made converse. I have a pair of the Chuck 70 with the thicker canvas, but the Japanese ones especially with Vivram soles look amazing

Been rocking collab converses (Rick Owens, HAVEN) for 2+ years and they still look great. Can also vouch for the 70s ones, but not sure about the normal ones.

Chuck 70s? The regular ones might be trash, but my 70s look fine after two years

Converse are wearing out again
Try the Chuck 70s. Made of way thicker canvas and better materials throughout.
