The black and gum version of The Center High-Top carries forward a silhouette that changed the game in 1944 and still holds its ground today. When most canvas shoes were light and flimsy, P.F. Flyers redefined footwear with durable rubber construction and the revolutionary Posture Foundation insole. The result was a sneaker that worked as hard as the people who wore it.

This vintage-inspired black and gum edition refines the classic with subtle updates. The high-top profile delivers timeless structure, while the gum rubber outsole grounds the look in heritage sport style. Durable 10oz canvas nods to retro materials and softens with wear, developing character over time. Inside, modern comfort upgrades ensure the fit feels as good as it looks. Finished with a tonal P.F. Flyers ankle patch, our signature rubber toe cap, and polished silver eyelets for sharp contrast, this supportive black high-top sneaker proves that true icons don’t need reinvention: just thoughtful evolution.

I recently discovered PF Flyers and wanted to try them out. I took advantage of the $1.98 return policy to dial in my size and found that these run 1 full size smaller than Chucks, so be sure to size up. The materials and craftsmanship are much better than chucks, in my opinion. I highly recommend trying these out.

Love these shoes! I’ve been wearing PF Flyers for 20 years (although it’s become difficult to find them in Canada). I usually get black on black, but I couldn’t resist the gum soles. I also love the patch! I’m a narrow 7, and the 7 fits me perfectly. We will see how these hold up compared to my previous pairs which were all purchased before the changeover.

The aesthetics of this show are classic looking and minimalist. The show is low to ground so you feel grounded with a great cushion to feel comfortable.

I'm new to PF Flyers. This shoe was my 2nd attempt at finding the right size. I'm normally a size 10, but on my first attempt in a size 10, my toes were jammed. This pair I went with a 10.5, and I still feel it on my big toes. I bought myself yet another pair and nailed it at size 11. You will want to size up. Love these shoes.

Remembered PF Flyers from when I was a kid, so I was thrilled to find these on line. They look and feel great. Buying more.

Customer photo review of Center Hi Black/Gum

I’ve wanted a pair of these since I found out they were making a comeback. I finally took the plunge when I found out that they made a version with all gum rubber soles. Growing up in the late 70’s my parents would always buy me these hideous shoes with gum rubber soles all I remember is that the soles would actually outlast the shoes. These definitely don’t disappoint sharp classic style with practically indestructible soles. I love them!

Fit true to size, comfortable and break in fast

Great shoes!! I bought some Converse 2 years ago and they started ripping on the inside. So I am a 70 year old P.F.Flyer man. Thank you and may God bless you all.

They fit like I've been wearing them in for years. Perfect shoe for any kind of day. I absolutely love them!

Very happy with my order. Thank you, PF. Flyers.🤘🏽

Grandson absolutely loved them!

I ordereed they showed up they do what they’re supposed to

Got here later, but blame FedEx

I got my first pair of PF 7 years ago and they are still in great shape so i decided I want to get another pair and still after 7 years they have the same great quality

The shoes look great but the toe box is very narrow. I did buy 1/2 size bigger in anticipation of that but still had to put them on a stretcher. Before buying I reached out for advice on your website about whether any particular style ran wider but never heard back. When I was wearing them a friend told me they used to be called fish heads!!! Pls consider widening at the toes- I do like the styles and colors offered.

I love all my PF flyers, they are comfortable and stylish.

Solidly made shoe, worth every penny!

👍🏼

comfortable, stylish, well made, great colors and design.

This is a great shoe. Love it. Cool look.

The best shoes live them!!
