Rick Owens DRKSHDW x Converse TURBODRK High-Top

Rick Owens DRKSHDW x Converse TURBODRK High-Top

Black canvas, cream laces, and a chunky rubber toe cap that extends further than a standard Chuck Taylor this is Converse’s high-top reworked with DRKSHDW’s heavier hardware. “TURBODRK” branding sits on the tongue tag alongside the original Converse star patch, so both names stay visible rather than one replacing the other.

Product Features

• Black canvas upper, high-top cut
• Oversized rubber toe cap and heel guard
• Cream flat laces, extra length
• Dual-branded tongue tag: Converse and TURBODRK
• Off-white midsole with a black rubber trim strip

What DRKSHDW Changed

The classic Chuck silhouette is still there underneath, but the toe cap and heel guard have been built up thicker than the original more rubber coverage, more visible tread at the front. It’s a heavier, more reinforced take on a shoe that’s mostly stayed the same for over a century.

Styling

Works with black jeans or cargo pants without needing much thought the shoe already carries enough detail through its hardware and branding.

Care

Spot clean the canvas with a damp cloth. Wipe the rubber toe cap and midsole separately to keep them from yellowing. Avoid machine washing.
