Rick Owens works in collaboration with Converse to deliver the latest TURBODRK Chuck 70 colorway palette. It is set to launch online beginning January 10th. The silhouette has an extended tongue and a dynamic zebra-inspired jacquard texture throughout the upper, finished with a squared toe.
Owens explains that "Over 10 years ago, I was frustrated that there wasn’t a sleazy dance club within walking distance from my house in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, so I decided to start one myself. I reached out to Big Freedia to come perform because I was excited about the new energy and attitude I heard coming from the New Orleans Bounce scene. Now, 10 years laters I’ve asked him to represent my collab with Converse."
