These new Rick Owens sneakers are very similar to Converse's iconic high-tops, however they incorporate a number of luxurious elements that set them apart.
A part of the designer brand's 'Walrus' collection, the sneakers have a streamlined look which comes from a combination of its simplistic black and white colorway and the quality material that constructs it. Although the majority of the uppers are black, an obscure embroidered design marks the sides of the sneakers in white. This is integrated on all of the footwear from the new Rick Owens Walrus collection, which helps them to maintain a sense of unity and make the designer's mark more well-known.
Currently, the collection's latest edition can be picked up from retailers such as WRONG WEATHER.
