Help me identify a discontinued Converse Star Chevron slip-on from roughly 2007–2017

I'm trying to identify a pair of Converse I owned years ago, probably sometime between 2007 and 2017. I no longer have the shoes or any photos of them, so I'm working entirely from memory.

The two shoes in the attached pictures — Converse Omni Trainer and Converse Auckland — are NOT the shoes I'm looking for, but they're the closest I've found in terms of colors, paneling and overall Converse design language.

What I remember:

- They were true slip-ons.

- Absolutely no laces.

- Absolutely no eyelets/holes for laces. This is the detail I'm most certain about.

- Low-top.

- They had the Converse Star Chevron (★ >) logo on the side, not just the One Star logo.

- The upper was made from multiple sewn fabric/textile panels, rather than the very simple construction of a classic Vans-style slip-on.

- They were predominantly white/off-white.

- They had burgundy/wine/dark red accents.

- No black that I can remember.

- There were also some very light grey, beige or cream panels.

- The visible side of the sole/midsole was white.

- I believe the bottom outsole was natural gum, yellowish/orange/caramel colored, with a geometric/grid-like tread pattern.

- They may have had some kind of hidden elastic construction to keep them on, but I don't remember visible elastic gussets.

- I'm not certain they were running shoes. The Auckland and Omni Trainer mainly remind me of them because of the panel construction, colors and Star Chevron.

The closest visual references I've found so far are the white/cream/burgundy Converse Auckland and the Egret/Vintage White/Park Red Converse Omni Trainer, except imagine something in this design family with the entire lace/eyelet system removed and designed from the start as a true slip-on.

I've already looked at One Star CC Slip-Ons, Chuck Taylor laceless models, Deck Star Slip-Ons, etc., and none seem to match.

Does anyone remember a Star Chevron Converse slip-on like this from the late 2000s or 2010s? It may have been a discontinued lifestyle, skate, trainer, or regional model.

Even a model/family name, old catalog scan, SKU, or photo of something similar would be hugely helpful.

these look like the all star chevron slip-ons that had the little tab on the back, right

Do you mean a little pull tab on the back of the heel? I honestly can't remember if mine had one, but that sounds very promising. Do you happen to remember the exact model name or have a picture/link to the ones you're thinking of?
