Over the course of his career, Rick Owens has become well known for revolutionizing form and function. For his latest collaboration with Converse, the polarizing designer once again reshapes the brand’s most iconic silhouette, the Chuck 70. The result is a subversive take on the classic shoe, one that celebrates and distorts the signature lines of the influential model and is more readily wearable than his previous square toe reimagining. Harnessing some of the most familiar Rick Owens features, the DRKSTAR Chuck 70 is made new with an elongated tongue and exaggerated dimensions, all while showcasing the signature DRKSHDW toe. The shoe, which is offered in a minimalist color palette to further emphasize the distinct shape, emerges with a waxed cotton twill upper and features a molded rubber heel and toe overlays. At the end of the day, Rick Owens is ultimately — and quite literally — stretching the possibilities of a sneaker icon.
