Rick Owens, renowned for his avant-garde approach to fashion and footwear, has cemented his place as a leading figure in the streetwear and high fashion communities. His collaborations with Converse have made his distinct aesthetic accessible to a broader audience, offering a unique fusion of high fashion and classic sneaker design. Building on the success of their recent TURBOWPN Hi release in Black and Cave, Rick Owens and Converse are back with another exciting drop: the DBL DRKSTAR Hi Washed Canvas Pack.
The DBL DRKSTAR Hi combines iconic Converse Chuck Taylor elements with Rick Owens' signature design language. This new pack features a washed canvas upper, giving the sneakers a rugged, vintage look. The sneakers are available in two colorways and have a large stacked sole unit that enhances their bold and unconventional silhouette. Cream hues accentuate the toe, while the primary hue of each colorway dominates the washed canvas upper.
The tongue and insole prominently display Rick Owens and Converse co-branding, maintaining the collaboration's distinct identity. The medial midfoot features the classic Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star patch, adding a touch of timeless style to the modern design. The doubled-up sole unit, presented in cream and black, is paired with a gum rubber outsole, providing both durability and a striking visual contrast.
The Rick Owens x Converse DBL DRKSTAR Hi Washed Canvas Pack will release on June 11, 2024, through Nike SNKRS, Rick Owens, Converse, and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $180. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
