FAQs

What makes the DRKSTAR Chuck 70 High different from regular Chuck Taylors?

The DRKSTAR Chuck 70 High features a collaboration with Rick Owens, incorporating distinctive elements like an elongated tongue, DRKSHDW white toe cap and overlays, and a waxed cotton upper, setting it apart from the standard Chuck Taylor design.

Are these shoes suitable for sports or athletic activities?

While they offer comfort and durability for everyday wear, they are primarily fashion sneakers and not designed for rigorous athletic performance.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Converse, typically aligning with standard UK men's or unisex sizing. It's recommended to check customer reviews for fit advice, as collaborations can sometimes vary slightly.

Can the waxed cotton be re-waxed if it wears off?

While not typically a standard maintenance procedure, specialized fabric waxes might be used cautiously to refresh the finish if desired, though this is not officially recommended by Converse or Rick Owens.

What is the warranty period for these sneakers?

Converse typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. It's best to check the specific warranty terms provided at the time of purchase or on the official Converse website.

How should I care for the black and egret color scheme?

To maintain the color contrast, clean each color area separately. Use a damp cloth for the black waxed cotton and a separate, clean cloth for the white rubber and canvas elements.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or inserting a powder-free insole to reduce friction.

Discoloration on waxed cotton

For minor marks, try wiping gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents that could damage the wax finish.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard Converse laces or any durable flat shoelaces of similar length. Consider waxed laces to match the upper's aesthetic.

Comfort issues on first wear

The canvas construction might need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers; no specific setup is required beyond lacing them to your preferred fit.

Compatibility: The DRKSTAR Chuck 70 High is a versatile high-top trainer designed to complement a wide range of streetwear and fashion-forward outfits. They pair well with jeans, trousers, and even some skirts or dresses for a bold look.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the waxed cotton upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain its texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Laces and Interior: Laces can be removed and hand-washed. The interior canvas can be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.
  3. Sole and Rubber: Clean the rubber toe cap and sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher scuffs, a specialized rubber cleaner can be used sparingly.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
