Converse seems to be launching more and more collaborations and grown-up stylings for its classic Chuck Taylor profile, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Wearing your basic black Chuck Taylors well after your college years may not exactly earn you style points, but these two new designs from the Player 75 Deluxe Pack ($215 for both) are grown up enough to warrant some adult respect. The shoes are an upgraded take on the company’s iconic style, with monochrome styling in leather and details like an added star logo, perforated calfskin leather lining, and leather laces and tabs. The Star Player is available in a military green oxford (above) and a hi-top in dark navy. The stylish sneakers were just released today and only 300 pairs of each color are available.

More BLUETTI Black Friday deals for home power backup and more — Save over $200

Continuing coverage of BLUETTI Black Friday deals, including one of its latest portable power stations the Elite 200 V2, we have a few more callouts worth taking a look at. Where before the main focus was home battery backup or a solid portable power option for off-grid, these deals are smaller in scope. The BLUETTI AC180 solar portable power station, for instance, features a 1,152-watt-hour capacity, which is not nearly as massive as what you get with the Elite 200 V2, but that's the point. It's manageable, has 11 outlets to power multiple devices simultaneously, and has a built-in MPPT charge controller and 500-watt solar input for fast charging via solar. It's best for use on the go or on the road, just like the BLUETTI Charger 1.

Enough about the gear, let's talk about those deal prices. As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
