The Chuck 70 "Woodstock" was part of a larger Peanuts and Converse collaboration that included a variety of other silhouettes. It pays tribute to the work of legendary American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz.

The Converse Chuck 70 features "Soba," "Zinc Yellow," and "Topaz Gold" uppers, black laces, a bone white midsole, and Peanuts branding on the tongue flaps. Its look is completed by a Schulz stripe on the outer sole unit and a Woodstock tab on the heel counters.

The Chuck 70 "Woodstock" by Peanuts was released on May 24, 2022, for $100 through the shoe company's e-commerce website and a few other affiliated stores.
