Rick Owens Applies A High-Shine Lacquered Denim To The Converse Chuck 70 TURBODRK

Rick Owens has made a career through his “against the grain” design ethos and personality. For his Converse Chuck 70 TURBODRK collaboration, the American designer hasn’t shied away from bringing his aesthetic to the masses.

While not the first joint-effort between the California-native and Boston-based company, the upcoming offerings indulge in “Black” and “Silver” lacquered-denim finishes which inject another degree of statement-making to the modified Chuck Taylors. Owens’ rebellious spin on the High and Low versions of the 1970s-produced silhouettes feature elongated tongues, squared-off toes and layered midsole units. “TURBODRK” and “DRKSHDW” branding appears at the top of the experimental tongue, with license plates at the rear also opting for Rick Owens-speciifc logos.
