Its key benefit lies in its unique aesthetic, merging Rick Owens' signature style with the iconic Chuck 70 silhouette, offering a standout look.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is made from a durable 18oz cotton twill.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Chuck 70 silhouette generally offers a standard fit. Those with very wide feet might find them snug, especially with the heavy twill upper.

How do I clean the white stitching?

Use a soft brush or a cotton swab with a very small amount of mild soap and water. Gently brush the stitching to avoid affecting the black twill.

What does 'DRKSTAR' signify?

'DRKSTAR' refers to the specific Rick Owens x Converse collaboration model, highlighting its unique design elements.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the cotton twill upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is influenced by the platform sole, which adds a notable but unquantified lift compared to standard sneakers.

What is the intended fit of the shoe?

These shoes are designed for a standard adult fit. It's recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes vary.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the distorted sole

The distorted sole is a design feature. Normal wear may appear uneven due to its unique shape. Ensure even pressure distribution when walking.

Stiffness in the material

The 18oz cotton twill is a heavy-duty material that may feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes regularly; they will soften and mold to your feet over time.

Difficulty with the elongated tongue

The elongated tongue is intentional. Ensure it is positioned correctly and flat against your foot before lacing up. It may take a few wears to adjust its placement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, fashion-forward design from a high-profile collaboration.
  • Durable 18oz cotton twill construction for longevity.
  • Distinctive silhouette with an elongated tongue and distorted sole.
  • Versatile all-black colorway that can complement various outfits.

Cons

  • The avant-garde design may not appeal to traditionalists.
  • Platform soles and distorted midsole might require an adjustment period for comfort.
  • Higher retail price due to the designer collaboration.
  • Limited to specific styling due to its bold aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. No setup is required.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. The unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of personal styles and outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the cotton twill upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or stitching.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Sole: Use a rubber cleaner or a damp cloth to wipe down the rubber midsole and outsole. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  4. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
