FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of waxed cotton.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
These are fashion sneakers designed for style and comfort in daily wear, not for intense athletic performance.
How does the sizing compare to standard Converse Chuck Taylors?
Generally, collaborations maintain standard sizing, but it's always recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible. This model is a UK 11.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waxed cotton, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the inspiration behind this design?
This design merges the iconic Converse Chuck Taylor silhouette with the avant-garde aesthetic of Rick Owens and his DRKSHDW line.
How should I care for the waxed cotton material?
Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow to air dry. Specialized cleaners for waxed materials can be used cautiously.
What is the main difference between this and a standard Chuck 70?
The key differences are the Rick Owens x DRKSHDW design elements, including the waxed cotton upper, elevated tongue, and specific detailing, along with the premium collaboration status.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on waxed cotton
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner for waxed materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Discoloration of white toe cap
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser or specialized white sole cleaner can be used with caution.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try inserting a small piece of tissue or powder under the insole, or ensure the laces are not overly tightened.
Material feels stiff initially
The waxed cotton and structured design may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and the material will become more flexible.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Due to the waxed cotton, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for delicate materials may be used sparingly.
- Laces: Remove laces for deeper cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water.
- Rubber Components: The rubber toe cap and heel can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
