The Converse DRKSHDW Chuck Taylor All Star DBL DRKSTAR Hi Rick Owens DRKSTAR Black is a black canvas high top sneaker featuring an elongated tongue with a label displaying the shoe’s name. A double layer Converse sole rests between the signature Rick Owens Sneaks’ molded heel and speckled toe cap in white. DRKSHDW branding appears on the heel license plate, and the Converse All Star logo appears on the side.
Designer Rick Owens launched his fashion line in 1994 in Los Angeles, and he quickly garnered a devoted following for his bold looks and fiercely independent trajectory. In 2021, Owens began collaborating with Converse, an American sneaker and lifestyle brand with a heritage that dates to 1908, under the DRKSHDW moniker.
In our opinion, the best feature of the Chuck Taylor DRKSTAR Hi is its chunky, elevated silhouette, which stands apart from classic Converse sneakers. The Converse DRKSHDW Chuck Taylor All Star DBL DRKSTAR Hi Rick Owens DRKSTAR Black released on September 8, 2023, and retailed at $170.
