The Converse Color Run Star Hike Ox in Citron Pulse is a low-cut take on Converse’s hiking-inspired silhouette. The upper uses a mix of canvas and suede in a bright yellow-green tone, giving it a distinctive look that stands apart from typical canvas Chucks. The Color Run Star Hike sits on a chunky, lugged midsole that’s designed for traction, a pretty significant departure from the thin rubber sole you’d find on a standard Converse Ox.
This model bridges casual wear and outdoor functionality without leaning too hard into either direction. The midsole has real structure to it, and the overall proportions are boxy in a way that feels intentional rather than accidental. If you’ve seen the higher Color Run Star Hike cuts, this Ox version gives you that same outsole and general construction but in a lower profile that’s easier to slip on.
The Citron Pulse colorway is bright enough that it’ll read as a statement piece in a neutral fit, but the earthy undertone in the yellow keeps it from feeling neon. At $124, it’s priced reasonably for what you’re getting in terms of materials and construction, though you might find it marked up elsewhere.
The SKU is 170778C if you’re looking to track down a specific size. It’s worth considering if you want something with actual grip and support but still want it to look more like a sneaker than full hiking gear.
