FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Converse Chuck 70 series typically fits slightly large; consider opting for a half-size down from your standard sneaker size.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the delicate translucent materials and adhesives used in this model.
What does the 'Ghosting' concept mean?
It is a design approach used by Virgil Abloh in this collaboration to expose the underlying structure and materials of the shoe via transparency.
How do I prevent the sole from yellowing?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store in a controlled environment to minimize oxidation.
Are the materials durable?
The shoes are constructed with premium materials, but they are fashion-forward pieces designed for lifestyle wear rather than rugged usage.
Troubleshooting
Translucent material appears foggy or dull
Gently clean the surface with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove surface dust or oils.
Creasing in the upper
This is characteristic of the material used in this design; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure.
Dirt visible through the upper
Carefully wipe the interior footbed and sides with a dry microfibre cloth; ensure the shoe is completely dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Chuck 70s last, it is important to handle the translucent upper with care. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a gentle sneaker cleaner to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that might scratch or cloud the synthetic material. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the translucent material from yellowing over time. When styling, these unisex trainers pair well with minimalist clothing, allowing the 'Vulcanized' branding and bold accents to remain the focus.
