Mine came with the same stains. A light rub with a cotton ball and some Jason Markk did the trick. My guess is they skimped on the QC to meet deadlines. Still love them either way.
My pair didn’t present many issues. Aside from the slight glue stains the marks on the rubber were wiped off fairly easily. I’m very happy with them, and I feel like knocking the shoe because of a couple marks is ungrateful to some degree.
I ordered both pairs and I'm anxiously waiting to see how they turn out. I bought this pair halfheartedly because I was unsure of which colorway I preferred and didn't want to pay resale if they sold out, if they turn out bad I wont worry about returning them and let them go.
I have never own these but I can help you guys with the glue issue! USE A LITTLE TIRE SHINE ON IT, trust me it will work ! I am planning on getting the black and white in the converse website 😎
Yeah the glue stains are crazy on mine. Wide/Flat feet peeps definitely go a half size up from your normal "chuck" size. I researched so much and people reviewing these kept missing the mark on speaking about their foot type on the recommendation.
Same issue, i got my pair and was somewhat disappointed and let down by the cardboard dust coating and glue stains. I have to clean it off with wet cloth and some ethanol before its good for wear.
@@curioussober May I check if the grey has no issues with glue stains and stuff at all? Weird that the grey pair is cheaper on retail than the black carbon and yet the grades are inverse of each other.
Just got mine today after some cleaning up they work great. But yeah the manufacturer shouldn’t have let a product out the door that you have to clean and polish before wearing.
I got these. Didn't have a problem with glue stains. The rubber part looked slightly dirty but no where near as bad as yours. I don't have wide feet and I went a half size down. I have some space length wise but I feel these were a little too narrow. I think I should have gone TTS to alleviate the tightness from the sides.
@@KP-yy7ph Went down half size from my regular size. Chuck 2's I wear in my size and I find them TTS. I have a pair of Chuck 70's in my size and I feel I can go down half a size which is why I went down in these. But these have a lining similar to the micro suede in the Chuck 2's that make it thicker than the regular canvas. It's not too bad. The more I wore them, the less it bothered me.
Dang those glue stains are unacceptable 💀 the last several pairs of Converse I tried all had that same issue, but those are even worse somehow oooof. Cool/interesting shoes on paper, but damn, they need to get their production quality more on par w the pricing.
I got my A Cold Wall Converses today in black and I got two pairs in different sizes as I wasn't sure what size to get. Today I got both and tried both on. Both had a bunch of glue stains all over the shoe which was annoying. However, the most annoying part is that the pair of the one that fits me had a FOLDED INSOLE. There's literally a bump on the inside of the shoe and I can't try to unfold the insole and it's GLUED TOGETHER like wtf. I was really looking toward to these and now have to return them.
I received my pair on Saturday. There is one small glue stain on my right shoe. The construction seems solid. I have not had a chance to wear them out yet. I do think that they look great, even in the dark colorway. I ordered only a half size down from my normal size. It does seem a little tight as width is concerned. I will let you know how that feels after wearing for a bit.
@@KP-yy7ph I have a pair of winterized Chucks. They are size 11. They fit me perfectly.I got the ACW the same size. My normal sneaker size is 11 1/2 or 12 depending on the company and the shoe style. The winterized Chucks are supposed a 1/2 size larger than normal size, so I ordered those in size 11.
just got mine today and i noticed a little gap on the right shoe from the sole to the rubber and im not sure if i should return it as this is or was going to be an everyday shoe for me. I called and they said i should return it any ideas on what i should do because i really love this shoe.
Mine has stains too. I stumbled upon ur review and I thought only mine had the issues. And the fabric seperated from the rubber already after 2 regular use. Ugh. Regret buying this. Super expensive and paid duties to be shipped in Canada
Like the grey pair they look great. Unfortunate they have the inconsistency with the presentation ...(the stains) And on black pairs glue stains show up even more obvious. Just not much care on the factory level or they rushed these out, but brands should be called out for these, because it's simply not acceptable on a consumer level when brand new.
I got the grey ones a full size down, were they hard to put on got you? I struggled.... the back part is so annoying when putting them on 😑 Edit: I’m happy I got grey because those glue stains are 🤮, i bet the replicas won’t be that bad,
Oka now. Don’t make it sound racist yellow guy. Lol you almost pushed it but saved it wit “I have better black boots” cuz y’all get soft on TH-cam when y’all say y’all don’t like something cuz the design and not the color.

The rubber stains or glue stains?
@@basedasuka Both

@@Eli-vb9zv uh...every single pair of these had these stains i couldn't remove it used dawn dish soap got worse its white allover now
Absolutely love these shoes. bought a new pair for Christmas!

How did they turn out? Shall I order white or black?
@@lilboojii Don’t get the black, not as good.
I got a pair saw the same things but I actually like the left over glue think it gives more to the rough rugged look of the shoe
I have never own these but I can help you guys with the glue issue!
USE A LITTLE TIRE SHINE ON IT, trust me it will work ! I am planning on getting the black and white in the converse website 😎
These look super cool but the construction seems horrendous. You're probably better off with pelladium
I got the black and have the same issue, but for me it’s about the look and the fit. Aye, the finish is important but it’s too nice not to buy.
just got mine. there was a few glue stains, yet they were easy to clean and scrub off.
How did you manage to get rid of them?
Yea how
Yeah the glue stains are crazy on mine. Wide/Flat feet peeps definitely go a half size up from your normal "chuck" size. I researched so much and people reviewing these kept missing the mark on speaking about their foot type on the recommendation.
Did yours get those throw up stains on them
Jesus those stains are bad!! I'm definitely getting the grey pair now lol, they're cheaper on the resell market too
Same issue, i got my pair and was somewhat disappointed and let down by the cardboard dust coating and glue stains. I have to clean it off with wet cloth and some ethanol before its good for wear.
You’re a better man than me. I tried some water and both before I shot the video. Didn’t do anything
Did you remove the glue stains?

Holy shit I didn't expect to see a defect that bad. I had two pairs of the greys ACWs and there were more scuffs and glue marks on one pair
Yeah. Been wearing my light Grey ones in the rain over the last couple of days. Been awesome

you went a half size down from your usual chuck taylor size?

Imagine stockx not taking this for wear when the glue stains are stock 😂

Mine came a little streaky but literally licked my thumb and rubbed it off and tbh im gonna probably wear them down anyway so it’s like whatever
Mine were rubbish, glue stains all over both shoes. Got rid of them
Mine too
Mine has stains too. I stumbled upon ur review and I thought only mine had the issues. And the fabric seperated from the rubber already after 2 regular use. Ugh. Regret buying this. Super expensive and paid duties to be shipped in Canada
That’s a huge bummer. I kept my white pair and it’s been a super comfortable shoe for me after the upper broke in
In stock on converse for $160 limited time get them
Thanks for the tip

Got mines and it also had glue stains on it..
I had it too, had to use shoe polish
They look good for work.
They're actually a lot more comfortable now than when I First got them too
how can i get this
Stockx or goat
If u need 8.5 lmk
the glue stains jesus. you think with a high price tag they at least make the quality a bit better
It’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen. And I’ve been to the replica stores in Vietnam where you get yeezy boost air max 900s
MySqueakers fuck dude I might return mine and just keep looking for that nice pair of black boots
Did your pair already come in? I’m hoping mine were an anomaly
MySqueakers yeah shipped in one day
MySqueakers it had some glue stains but not as much as yours
I put ArmorAll on mine and it cleaned them right up
Even the glue on the nylon??
@@curioussober please help me I've been looking everywhere I can't find one.how can I get one I'm size 36 in South africa
it seems the glue really put you off mate
Haha. Yeah it did. That's Walmart shit!
I got the grey ones a full size down, were they hard to put on got you? I struggled.... the back part is so annoying when putting them on 😑
Edit: I’m happy I got grey because those glue stains are 🤮, i bet the replicas won’t be that bad,
Yeah they are. I have to use a shoe horn. They loosen up a bit after a couple wears. Just make sure to unlace the top 2-3 laces
My shoe came with those stains too lmao
Keeping them?
@@curioussober Help me decide lmao. I keep trying to wash them off with water / microfiber cloth but they keep coming back?
Not a fan of these but great review and on feet.
❤
🏉
@@curioussober lol
SEND THEM BACK!
replicas even have better quality

Is it a fucking boot or sneaker
Sneaker boot
You will never wear them. Ok, so sell them to me
They're back to Converse already
