Rick Owens Sock Sneaker Returns in Beige/Gum
Summertime color.
Although Rick Owens‘s collaboration with Birkenstock will likely yield the ultimate summer goth shoe, the designer’s devotees will have plenty of other hot weather options, including this light-hued take on his recognizable sock sneaker.
Like Owens’s Converse-like Ramones sneaker, the sock shoe features a contrasting rubber toe cap and sole. However, unlike the Ramones, these laceless shoes feature a sock-style shaft that ensures a fitted look. Part of Rick Owens Spring/Summer 2018, “DIRT,” the shoes are issued in a summer-appropriate cream suede that will crease based on the owener’s unique instep and gait.
Purchase a pair for $1,390 USD on LN-CC’s website.
The sleek shoe didn’t appear as part of Owens’s Fall/Winter 2018 “SISYPHUS” collection, and was instead replaced by running sneakers and clunky boots.
