FAQs

What is the main difference between Chuck 70 Hi and standard Chuck Taylor All Stars?

The Chuck 70 Hi features premium materials, enhanced cushioning (like an OrthoLite sockliner), higher rubber foxing, and often vintage-inspired details, offering superior comfort and a more refined look compared to standard models.

How do I know if my size is correct?

Converse Chuck 70s generally run a half size large. It is recommended to order a half size down from your usual sneaker size. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or consult the brand's specific sizing chart.

Is the polka dot pattern durable?

The pattern is printed onto the canvas. While generally durable for normal wear, it can fade or scuff with excessive abrasion or improper cleaning. Gentle care is recommended.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent the material from getting soaked and potentially stained.

Where is the Comme des Garcons PLAY logo located?

The signature CDG PLAY heart logo is typically found on the heel of the shoe, just below the ankle collar.

Are these shoes considered unisex?

While listed as men's in some contexts, Converse trainers, especially collaborations like this, are widely worn by individuals of all genders. The sizing is based on men's UK standards.

What is the retail price and release date?

This specific collaboration was released on October 6, 2017, at a retail price of $135 USD.

Troubleshooting

Treading squeaks

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or lightly scuffing the sole on concrete to wear it in. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Discoloration of canvas

Exposure to prolonged sunlight or certain chemicals can cause fading. Store shoes away from direct sunlight. Clean promptly if exposed to staining agents.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed laces with new ones. Standard shoelaces are compatible.

Rubber sole peeling

For minor peeling, a strong adhesive like shoe glue might offer a temporary fix. However, significant peeling may indicate wear and tear beyond repair.
