Rick Owens and Converse have joined forces to transform the iconic Chuck 70, unveiling the Rick Owens x Converse DRKSHDW DRKSTAR Chuck 70 Low “Black” 172347C. This collaboration results in a low-top sneaker that boldly reinterprets a streetwear staple, highlighting Owens’ knack for the unconventional.
The design features an elongated tongue, a hallmark of Rick Owens’ aesthetic, which extends the classic Chuck 70 silhouette, adding an edgy and avant-garde flair. Complementing this is the signature DRKSHDW toe cap, a design that breaks the mold and challenges traditional sneaker styles.
Skilled craftsmanship is evident in the waxed cotton twill upper, which brings a refined texture and a sophisticated touch to the overall design. The sneaker’s timeless silhouette now sports a rebellious twist, standing out in the competitive world of street fashion.
The dual molded rubber toe design, combining the DRKSHDW toe cap with a molded rubber heel component, stands out as a key feature. These elements unite to produce a sneaker that’s both stylish and functional, offering durability and comfort.
The sneakers also showcase unique branding elements, including a custom DRKSHDW license plate and a wrap-around DRKSTAR woven label. These touches highlight the collaboration’s distinct identity, blending Converse’s classic charm with Rick Owens’ unique style.
