Full details
The Converse TURBODRK Chuck 70 is designed for fashion-forward adults who appreciate a punk-couture aesthetic and the legacy of the classic Chuck Taylor silhouette. Created in collaboration with Rick Owens, these high-top trainers offer a bold, avant-garde style characterized by an exaggerated rubber sole and elongated tongue, providing a unique visual statement. While these shoes retain the reliable construction and comfort of the iconic Chuck 70 series, potential buyers should note that the distinct design and chunky sole profile offer a significantly different fit and look compared to traditional standard-issue Converse sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The TURBODRK Chuck 70 generally follows the standard sizing of the Chuck 70 line, though some users prefer a half-size down due to the nature of canvas-style construction.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the harsh agitation and heat can damage the signature rubber soles and the textile upper.
What is the difference between these and standard Chuck 70s?
The main differences are the aesthetic design elements, including the oversized rubber sole, the elongated tongue, and custom branding from the Rick Owens DRKSHDW line.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While durable, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions to maintain the longevity of the materials.
Do these require a break-in period?
Like many high-top sneakers, they may feel slightly stiff initially, but the material typically conforms to your foot shape after a few days of regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting the elongated tongue
Loosen the top two eyelets of the laces to allow the tongue to lay flat or be folded according to your preference.
Scuffing on the white rubber sole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge with a small amount of water to gently buff away black scuffs.
Textile upper looking dusty
Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently remove surface lint and dust from the black textile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your TURBODRK Chuck 70s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the black textile upper, spot-cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap is recommended; avoid submerging them in water, which can damage the rubber bonding. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black textile from fading. These shoes are standard unisex sizing, but given the unique structure of the elongated tongue, it is recommended to adjust your lacing to suit your ankle preference for maximum comfort throughout the day.
