New Collab. Converse X Rick Owens

In the third collaboration, Owens presents a new version of the Chuck 70 with proportions that revisit the unmistakable style of the Californian designer. The DRKSTARs will be available globally from November 16, 2021. This fall, Converse, along with one of fashion's iconoclasts, Rick Owens, is launching a second take on the iconic Chuck Taylor silhouette through carefully exaggerated design details. DRKSTAR showcases Owens' practice of distorting cultural signifiers and his clear choice of folding and reshaping sneaker. This new silhouette follows the success of the TURBODRK Chuck 70, the first execution of a square toe ChuckOwens has always had a distinct bond with Converse, and it is this bond that led him for the first time to introduce the Ramones SS14 DRKSHDW, a subversive interpretation of the Chuck Taylor All Star. This latest version of the Chuck 70 emerges in both a Hi and Ox cut with a rounded and sized toe cap, delicately blending the contours seen on the Chuck 70 and DRKSHDW SS14 Ramones silhouettes. The sneaker upper is made from heavy 18oz cotton twill with a noticeably extended tongue, as seen on both TURBODRK and TURBOWPN. The black and white colourways continue to mirror Converse's most classic icon with gradient stitching that blend Owen's stark universe of modernist minimalism and contemporary luxury.
