FAQs
Is this shoe true to size?
The Converse The 10 Chuck Taylor generally fits similarly to standard Chuck Taylor high-tops, but it is recommended to reference your usual Converse size.
How do I clean the translucent upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and blot the surface. Do not submerge the shoe in water.
Can I remove the red zip-tie?
Yes, the zip-tie is an accessory feature and can be removed based on personal preference.
Is the sole comfortable for all-day wear?
The sole maintains the traditional feel of a Chuck Taylor, which is flat and offers minimal arch support compared to modern athletic shoes.
Should I wear socks with these?
Because of the translucent upper, your choice of socks will be visible, which is a key design feature of the 'Ghosting' aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Translucent material appears cloudy
Gently wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or heavy chemicals.
Icy sole showing signs of yellowing
Yellowing is a natural result of oxidation on translucent rubber. Store in a dark, dry place to slow the process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your pair remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the translucent nature of the materials, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners or solvents that may cloud or yellow the fabric and rubber components. Use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains, gently dab the area with a soft cloth and a mild, diluted soap solution; avoid soaking the shoe entirely. When not in use, store the sneakers in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, which can accelerate the yellowing of the icy blue sole and translucent upper elements.
