x DRKSHDW Turbodrk OxConverse

Description

Rick Owens is famous for his exaggerated proportions and rebellious takes on the ubiquitous. This season, the designer’s DRKSHDW line partners with Converse , and both of those are present. It’s the iconic Chuck 70 that’s brought under the spotlight — named the TURBODRK Chuck 70 Ox — and though it’s recognisable as the shoe we’re all familiar with, the approach leans much closer to Rick’s avant-garde side. The tongue, for example, is supersized and extended, while that famous rubber toe is square shaped — a first for the model in its history — for a look that both celebrates and distorts the model’s famous design lines. The uppers are made using waxed cotton twill, too, and there’s a collaboration-specific license plate detailed at the heels.
