FAQs

What makes the Chuck 70 different from a standard Chuck Taylor All Star?

The Chuck 70 features premium materials, such as higher-grade canvas and a glossier rubber sole, along with enhanced cushioning and stitching details for improved comfort and durability.

Is the red sole color-fast?

While designed to be durable, the red color on the sole may fade over time with extensive wear and exposure to sunlight. Proper care and avoiding prolonged direct sun exposure can help maintain the vibrancy.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. These shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. They are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments.

How should I choose my size?

Converse Chuck 70s generally run slightly large. It is often recommended to go down a half size from your usual athletic shoe size. Refer to the official Converse sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse Chuck 70s, as it can damage the adhesive and materials. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the history behind the CDG PLAY x Converse collaboration?

This collaboration brings together COMME des GARÇONS PLAY's distinctive modern aesthetic with Converse's iconic Chuck Taylor silhouette, creating sought-after fashion-forward footwear.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Chuck 70 has a relatively standard width. While they may not be ideal for very wide feet without a break-in period, the canvas can offer some flexibility over time.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears dirty or scuffed

Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and water. For stubborn marks, use a specialized canvas cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Rubber sole is stained

Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a melamine sponge (magic eraser) or a non-abrasive cleaning paste.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.

Discomfort during initial wear

Canvas shoes can sometimes be stiff initially. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using appropriate socks.
