FAQs

What makes this shoe special compared to a regular Chuck Taylor?

This shoe is a special collaboration with Comme des Garcons PLAY, featuring their signature aesthetic, most notably the striking red sole, on the classic Chuck Taylor All Star 70 Hi silhouette.

How should I clean the red sole without damaging it?

Wipe the red sole with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, but avoid abrasive cleaners that might affect the rubber's finish.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic activities?

These are fashion sneakers designed for everyday wear and style. While they offer good comfort and basic support, they are not intended for rigorous athletic performance.

What is the best way to store these sneakers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape.

Can the canvas be treated to resist stains?

While specific canvas protectants exist, using them may alter the appearance or feel of the fabric. It's generally best to rely on careful cleaning after wear.

Does the red sole bleed color?

Under normal wear conditions, the red sole is designed not to bleed. However, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or friction could potentially cause some color transfer.

What does 'Egret' color refer to for the canvas?

Egret is a shade of off-white or cream, slightly warmer than pure white, giving the canvas upper a softer, vintage-inspired look.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears dirty or scuffed

Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush or cloth using a mild soap and water mixture. For tougher marks, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for canvas may be used sparingly.

Red sole is showing marks or discoloration

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive scrubbing that could damage the rubber.

Laces are stained

Remove the laces and wash them separately by hand with mild detergent and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag for machine washing.

Shoes feel stiff initially

The premium canvas may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Canvas: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the Egret canvas upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the red rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized shoe cleaner or a magic eraser can be used carefully.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with soap and water or machine-washed in a garment bag.
  4. Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
