Product Information

Full details

The Converse Rick Owens TURBODRK Chuck 70 is designed for fashion-forward adults who value an avant-garde aesthetic mixed with the timeless durability of a classic high-top sneaker. This collaboration merges Rick Owens' signature punk couture style with the iconic Chuck Taylor silhouette, offering a striking visual upgrade for your daily wardrobe. While these sneakers provide a unique look and comfort, users should note that the exaggerated proportions and specific design elements may require a slight adjustment period for those accustomed to traditional, minimalist Chuck Taylors.

FAQs

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, while listed in various size ranges, the TURBODRK Chuck 70 design is intended to be a unisex piece of footwear.

How does the sizing compare to regular Chuck Taylors?

They generally follow the same sizing guidelines as the classic Chuck 70, but it is always recommended to check your specific UK size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the specialized materials and the custom woven tags.

Does the elongated tongue make them harder to put on?

The elongated tongue is a stylistic choice; it does not significantly impact the ease of entry provided you loosen the laces sufficiently.

Is the sole comfortable for walking all day?

The TURBODRK Chuck 70 is designed with the comfort features of the Chuck 70 series, making them suitable for moderate daily walking.

Troubleshooting

White rubber sole showing scuff marks.

Gently rub the marks with a non-abrasive eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution.

Laces feeling too loose due to the elongated tongue.

Adjust the tension of the laces near the top eyelets, ensuring the tongue is centered before tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, high-fashion aesthetic that stands out from standard trainers
  • High-quality construction suitable for daily wear
  • Versatile design that pairs well with both casual and structured outfits
  • Iconic Chuck 70 comfort level maintained in a redesigned frame

Cons

  • Exaggerated rubber sole increases the overall weight compared to standard Chucks
  • Elongated tongue style may not be preferred by all wearers
  • Specific aesthetic may be harder to clean than traditional canvas sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your TURBODRK Chuck 70 sneakers maintain their look, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes are based on the standard Chuck 70 size; however, due to the unique construction, it is recommended to ensure your size matches your standard Converse fit.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the black canvas. For the white rubber sole, a melamine sponge or dedicated rubber cleaner works best to remove scuffs.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the canvas from fading.
  4. Compatibility: The neutral black and white colorway makes them highly compatible with almost any monochromatic or vibrant wardrobe, acting as a versatile anchor for complex outfits.
