News on this release was first published May 12, 2023.

Update May 31, 2023: The Rick Owens x Converse DRKSHDW Chuck 70 is available now at select locations. Check out the links below to shop the ‘Hot Pink’ and ‘Iron/Egret’.

Rick Owens and Converse have brought an avant-garde take to the Chuck 70, primarily in colourways only seen on the grayscale colour palette. Coming off the ‘Zebra’ colourway back in January, the Converse DRKSHDW Chuck 70 gets two new laceless colourways with a pop of colour.

Dropping in ‘Hot Pink’ and ‘Dust’, the classic Chuck 70 features, such as a canvas upper and All-Star patch on the medial side, are present. Owens’ edgy takes on the sneaker can be seen on the exaggerated and elongated tongue and the squared-off toecap. Co-branding is seen on the tongue tag and on the heel, with additional rubber overlays featured on the vulcanised foxing. In addition to being worn traditionally with laces, these upcoming colourways can also be worn laceless as well.

The Converse DRKSHDW Chuck 70 ‘Hot Pink’ and ‘Dust’ are set to drop in the near future via Converse’s channels and at select retailers.
