FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Converse Rick Owens x DRKSHDW DRKSTAR Chuck 70 High is designed for style and comfort in everyday casual settings. However, due to the premium materials and designer collaboration, many users prefer to reserve them for specific occasions or more fashion-conscious outfits.

How do I clean the waxed cotton upper?

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for delicate fabrics and waxed materials, testing on a small area first. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

What makes the elevated tongue different?

The elevated tongue is a design feature by Rick Owens that adds a distinct visual element and can alter how the shoe fits around the ankle. It creates a unique silhouette compared to standard Chuck Taylors.

Do these trainers run true to size?

The Chuck 70 line generally runs a little large. It is recommended to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, or ordering half a size down if you prefer a snugger fit.

What is the difference between the Chuck 70 and a standard Chuck Taylor All Star?

The Chuck 70 features higher quality materials, a heavier canvas, a more cushioned insole, higher rubber foxing, and often a vintage-inspired design compared to the standard Chuck Taylor All Star.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the waxed cotton offers some resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.

What other sizes or colors are available for this collaboration?

This collaboration has been released in various sizes and sometimes with minor color variations. Please check the product listings or the brand's official channels for available options.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on waxed cotton

Minor creasing is a natural characteristic of waxed materials. Avoid excessive folding. If significant, a gentle steam can sometimes help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Uneven lacing

Loosen all laces and re-thread them evenly, ensuring consistent tension across all eyelets. The elevated tongue may require a specific lacing pattern for optimal comfort.

Color transfer from waxed cotton

Ensure the waxed cotton is fully dry before wearing. If color transfer occurs onto socks or clothing, allow the shoes to air out completely or consult a professional cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear straight out of the box. Lacing can be adjusted for a personalized fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. The versatile black color makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and fashion-forward attire.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks on the waxed cotton, a specialized fabric cleaner designed for delicate materials can be used sparingly, following product instructions.
  • Sole and Rubber: Clean the rubber sole and toe cap with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild detergent or machine wash in a garment bag on a gentle cycle.
  • Drying: Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade materials.
