FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Converse Chuck 70s typically run about a half-size large compared to standard US sizing. We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to the brand's size chart, or trying them on in person if possible.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Converse Chuck 70 Hi Stüssy is not waterproof. The hemp and canvas upper can absorb moisture. While suitable for dry conditions, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet environments.
How should I clean the Stüssy star logo?
Gently clean the embroidered star logo with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, which could damage the embroidery.
What is the significance of the unvarnished foxing?
The unvarnished foxing refers to the raw, unfinished appearance of the rubber sole's sidewall. This design choice is a nod to the original hemp Chucks from the 1990s and adds to the shoe's vintage aesthetic.
Can I wear these in all seasons?
These sneakers are best suited for spring, summer, and fall. The hemp upper provides some breathability, but they may not offer sufficient warmth or waterproofing for winter conditions.
What makes the Stüssy collaboration special?
This collaboration combines the iconic Chuck 70 silhouette with Stüssy's signature artistic style, featuring unique design elements like an elongated star embroidery and custom tongue labels, making it a sought-after collector's item.
How does the hemp upper differ from standard canvas?
Hemp is a natural fiber known for its durability and texture. It offers a slightly different feel and aesthetic compared to traditional cotton canvas, often with a more rugged appearance.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing at the heel/ankle
Wear thicker socks or use heel grips. The shoe may require a break-in period; wear them for short durations initially until they conform to your foot.
Laces becoming dirty quickly
Remove laces and hand wash with soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag for machine washing. Consider replacing with black or white laces if they become too worn.
Slight color transfer from the black hemp
This is more likely with lighter colored socks. Ensure socks are colorfast. If transfer occurs, try spot cleaning the affected area on the sock immediately.
Sole appears scuffed or dirty
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner to wipe down the vulcanized rubber sole. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can be effective but use with caution.
