Core models of chucks are always available for sale and are in continuous manufacture. They are always available in half sizes as well as whole. In the past, Converse designated other colors -- maroon, flint khaki, and pine green -- as core colors. But these are not being manufactured any more on a regular basis, and so no longer have the core designation. The seven colors above are the most commonly available in stores and online. High top and low cut core models are available in men's sizes 3-17 except for pink which is available in sizes 3-13. The suggested retail prices (by Converse) are $41.95 for high tops or low cuts.

Since the bankruptcy, Converse has made two other solid color models on such a regular basis that they may be considered for core status. These colors are chocolate brown and charcoal grey. These models are different from other seasonal models because they are made with both white and model color stitching on the canvas uppers, as you see on core models but not on seasonal models.
