Is the Midnight Garden print worth paying more for than a standard Chuck?

Only if you want the print. The shoe itself is a standard Chuck Taylor All Star, so you are paying for the limited floral design and its scarcity, not better materials or comfort.

How does sizing run compared with other Converse?

Chucks generally run about a half size large for many people, and this pair uses the same last. Try your usual Converse size first, or size down half a size for a snugger fit.

Can I machine wash them?

Spot clean with mild soap and a soft brush instead. Machine washing can fade the printed canvas and weaken the glue holding the rubber sole.

One pair of sneakers with the laces already fitted. Limited-edition Chucks do not include extra laces or a dust bag.

When is the best time to buy a limited-edition Chuck?

Buy early if your size is in stock, since limited runs sell out rather than get discounted. Waiting usually means paying resale prices or losing your size.
