FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of waxed cotton, providing a unique texture and enhanced durability.

How should I clean the waxed cotton upper?

Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can affect the waxed finish. Specialized re-waxing products are available if needed.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the soft canvas interior is designed for comfort and flexibility, making them suitable for extended wear.

What is the main design inspiration for this shoe?

The design is a collaboration between Converse and Rick Owens' DRKSHDW line, merging the classic Chuck Taylor silhouette with Rick Owens' avant-garde aesthetic.

What is the difference between this and a standard Chuck 70?

This model features unique design elements such as a waxed cotton upper, an elevated tongue, and DRKSHDW toe overlays, setting it apart from the standard Chuck 70.

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

While they offer a premium look, their design is more aligned with streetwear and avant-garde fashion. They can elevate smart-casual outfits but are not typically considered formal wear.

Where can I find other sizes or colors?

This specific guide focuses on the Black/White model. Please refer to the product listing or retailer for available sizing and color variations.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear.

This is normal for new shoes, especially with waxed cotton. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The soft canvas lining will help ease discomfort.

Waxed cotton surface appears dull.

The waxed finish can diminish with wear. Re-waxing can be done with specialized products, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth can also restore some sheen.

Discoloration on white toe cap or rubber.

Use a specialized shoe cleaner or a magic eraser for scuff marks on the rubber components. For the toe cap, a damp cloth or a mild cleaning solution should suffice.
