FAQs
What makes this collaboration unique?
This collaboration merges Converse's iconic Chuck 70 silhouette with the avant-garde, deconstructed aesthetic of Rick Owens' DRKSHDW line, featuring premium materials like waxed cotton and distinctive design elements like an elongated tongue.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, despite their unique design, they are constructed with comfort features like a soft canvas lining and a durable rubber sole, making them suitable for everyday wear for those who appreciate their style.
How do I clean the waxed cotton upper?
The waxed cotton upper should be cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to preserve the wax finish.
What is the difference between this and a standard Chuck 70?
The key differences lie in the materials (waxed cotton vs. standard canvas), the Rick Owens x DRKSHDW design influence (elevated tongue, specific detailing), and the overall premium, fashion-forward positioning.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
It is generally recommended to consult the official Converse sizing chart. Some users find this model fits true to size, while others may prefer to size down for a snugger fit, especially given the high-top design.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The waxed cotton upper offers some water resistance, but they are not designed to be fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The primary material for the upper is waxed cotton, providing a distinct texture and a degree of durability and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel stiff or difficult to tie.
The laces are designed to match the aesthetic; ensure they are not overly tightened. If they feel too rigid, a gentle stretch or careful handling may help.
Waxed cotton upper appears dull or dirty.
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a specialized cleaner for waxed fabrics may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
Sizing feels slightly different from other Chuck 70 models.
Due to the design elements like the elevated tongue and specific materials, there might be minor variations. Ensure the heel counter and toe box fit comfortably. Refer to Converse sizing charts if unsure.
