Rick Owens Applies Dégradé on the Vintage Leather Trainers
References: matchesfashion & hypebeast
Rick Owens applies a special colorblocking dégradé technique across its special Vintage Leather Trainers and the footwear model features distressed detailing. The latest iteration of the sneaker model also highlights some frayed elements as well, accented with gradient ombre in monochromatic hues throughout the uppers, blending from white, to black, to silver for some metallic accents as well.
The model is constructed in Italy and printed differently on the right and the left shoe for some asymmetrical effects. Across the toe cap and the lace keeper are black suede overlays and the heels feature leather panels. It all sits on top of an angular midsole foundation for geometric aesthetics, rounded out with tattered threading details.
