FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse Chuck 70 models, including this collaboration, are generally considered to run about a half-size large. Many customers find it beneficial to order a half-size down from their typical shoe size for a more comfortable fit.
How do I clean the Comme des Garcons PLAY heart logo?
Clean the logo gently with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and a very mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this could damage the print. Wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth and air dry.
What is the difference between Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 and standard Chuck Taylors?
The Chuck 70 features a more premium construction, including a thicker canvas, improved cushioning (like a cork footbed), higher rubber siding, and a vintage-inspired look with elements like the egret-colored midsole. They are generally more durable and comfortable than the standard models.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
No, these sneakers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good durability for walking, they do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic performance.
What does the 'PLAY' in Comme des Garcons PLAY signify?
Comme des Garcons PLAY is a diffusion line from the Japanese fashion label Comme des Garcons, focusing on more accessible, playful, and streetwear-oriented designs, often featuring the iconic heart logo created by Filip Pagowski.
What is the material of the sole?
The sneaker features a durable rubber outsole in a brown finish and an egret-colored (off-white) rubber midsole.
When was this specific model released?
The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 Hi Comme des Garcons PLAY Grey was released on June 3, 2021.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are pulled evenly. For a looser fit, slacken the laces, particularly around the ankle area. Consider if a half-size down or up might be needed based on initial wear.
Canvas appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean with a mild detergent and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used on the rubber parts. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried.
Discoloration of canvas or logo.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning chemicals. Store properly when not in use. If discoloration has occurred, professional shoe cleaning services might offer more advanced solutions.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction between the insole and the outsole. Try wearing them for a few more walks to break them in. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, but use with caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sneakers require no assembly. Upon receiving your pair, simply lace them up to your preferred tightness using the provided canvas laces.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: Converse Chuck Taylors, including the Chuck 70 line, are generally known to run slightly large. It is often recommended to order a half size down from your usual shoe size for a snugger fit. However, this can vary by individual foot shape.
- Outfit Coordination: The grey canvas with black and white accents makes these sneakers highly versatile, pairing well with a wide range of colors and styles, from neutral tones to bolder combinations.
Care Instructions:**
- Cleaning the Canvas: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent with warm water. Dampen a cloth or soft brush with the solution and gently scrub the affected area. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the canvas and adhesive.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: The rubber midsole and outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. A magic eraser can be effective for removing scuffs from the white midsole.
- Laces: Canvas laces can be removed and hand-washed with detergent and water, then air-dried.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain color and material integrity. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape.
