FAQs

Is this shoe waterproof?

While the nylon material is more resistant to the elements than standard canvas, the sneaker is not fully waterproof.

Does the lugged sole provide enough grip for hiking?

The lugged sole is optimized for urban environments and city walking, not for rugged or mountainous trail hiking.

How does the sizing compare to standard Converse?

The lugged silhouette generally follows standard Converse sizing, but the structured nature of the nylon may lead to a snugger initial fit.

Are the reflective details visible in daylight?

The reflective zigzag stitching is most prominent in low-light or artificial light environments, appearing as subtle, stylized stitching during the day.

Can I replace the ghillie laces with standard flat laces?

While possible, the ghillie lacing is a core part of this specific collaboration's design and functionality; replacing them may alter the intended fit and look.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting on the shoe due to the high top and lacing

Loosen the ghillie laces significantly from the bottom up before sliding your foot in to avoid straining the eyelets.

Material feels stiff around the ankle

Wear thicker socks during the first few uses to prevent friction and allow the nylon to soften naturally against your skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rugged durability suitable for urban commuting
  • Excellent traction from the specialized lugged outsole
  • Distinctive collaboration aesthetic with reflective details
  • Versatile all-black colorway that hides dirt well
  • Secure fit provided by the technical ghillie lacing

Cons

  • Unique design may feel rigid until fully broken in
  • The lugged sole adds weight compared to standard canvas Chucks
  • Limited to monochromatic style preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Lacing: Take time to adjust the ghillie lacing system carefully. Because the material is durable nylon, pull the laces evenly to distribute tension across the midfoot.
  2. Cleaning: Given the nylon material, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water, as the specialized stitching and metallic accents may react poorly to excessive moisture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color depth and material integrity.
  4. Compatibility: These sneakers pair best with tapered trousers or cargo pants that highlight the high-top profile and the lugged sole design.
