Description
The TURBODRK Chuck 70 also closes a circle for Owens, which began with the DRKSHDW Ramones sneaker from Spring/Summer 2014, which took inspiration from the classic Converse silhouette. “After referencing Converse in the past, there is a nice closure in being invited by them to hook up,” Owens adds. “Converse introducing me to their larger audience more accessibly than I could has a synergistic logic.”
Owens’ collaboration with Converse is his latest joint release this year. As well as the Chuck 70 rework, he has also worked with Champion, Dr. Martens and Birkenstock. “I will be embedded into the social fabric in a new way by aligning myself with a global brand like Converse,” he explains of his collaborations. “This might allow me to share my enthusiasm for a more tolerant and inclusive personal aesthetic to more people. I want to help release the freak kids the way the Converse-wearing Ramones did for me.”
