Rick Owens DRKSHDW Vintage leather sneakers

What stands out about the Rick Owens DRKSHDW Vintage leather sneakers is how little it tries — the brand lets the construction do the talking.

The Upper: Lamb leather. Trim: Bovine Leather. Sole: Rubber build comes through in black, UK 5, with a finish that holds up to close inspection.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
