FAQs

Is the sizing the same as standard Chuck 70s?

Generally, the TURBODRK Chuck 70 follows standard Chuck 70 sizing, but due to the construction of the toe box and tongue, some users prefer a slightly snugger fit.

Can these be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers as it can damage the specialized materials and the elongated structure.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from durable canvas, consistent with the classic Chuck Taylor construction.

How do I style the elongated tongue?

You can leave it extended for a bold look or tuck it behind your laces for a more traditional high-top appearance.

Is this a unisex model?

While listed for adult men, the design is effectively unisex and can be worn by anyone who appreciates the aesthetic.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

Like most canvas high-tops, they may feel stiff initially but will conform to the foot with regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Tongue constantly sliding or shifting

Ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue loop if provided, or adjust your lacing tension to secure the tongue in place.

Visible scuffs on the off-white midsole

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently lift scuff marks without damaging the rubber texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, unique design that stands out from standard Chuck 70 models
  • High-quality construction and durable materials
  • Versatile monochromatic black colorway
  • Strong collector appeal due to the Rick Owens collaboration

Cons

  • The elongated tongue may cause friction for some users
  • Unconventional silhouette may not fit all clothing styles
  • Requires specific care to maintain the off-white midsole appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are high-top sneakers, ensure your socks provide adequate coverage for the ankle area to prevent chafing. To maintain the condition of the black canvas and the off-white rubber midsole, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the custom woven tag and the shape of the elongated tongue. If the midsole becomes scuffed, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap is recommended. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent canvas fading.
