About Converse x DRKSHDW

Rick Owens is globally recognised for his subversive, sculptural aesthetic — and through DRKSHDW, he channels that identity into more accessible ready-to-wear and footwear.

In this long-running collaboration, iconic Converse models such as:

  • Chuck 70
  • Weapon

are transformed with:

  • Elongated or extended tongues
  • Exaggerated proportions
  • Platform or squared soles
  • Distressed finishes
  • Monochromatic palettes in black, milk, dust, and muted tones

The result is instantly recognisable footwear that retains Converse’s cultural foundation while amplifying Rick Owens’ dark minimalism and anti-mainstream philosophy.

Brand Philosophy:

  • Subversion of classic Americana
  • Avant-garde reinterpretation of heritage sneakers
  • Industrial, monochrome aesthetic
  • Exaggerated proportions as design signature
  • Wearable rebellion

Key Product Categories:

  • High-top sneakers
  • Low-top sneakers
  • Platform and extended-sole designs
  • Limited-edition releases
