Rick Owens

Men's Black High-Top Sneakers

When Rick Owens first introduced sneakers to his eponymous label, his aim was to create "monster trucks" for his feet, rejecting what he called the "prosaic" nature of sneakers. Take this pair as an example, exaggerating every aspect of the classic high-top silhouette, from a bulbous toe cap to the oversized outsole, all finished with premium calf leather.
