Dramatically Reimagined Basketball Shoes

Rick Owens' High-Top Ramones Model is Available for £440

The Rick Owens Double Bumper Canvas High-Top Ramones gives an interesting take on the basketball trainers. The shoe is characterized by a beige leather insole and an incredibly durable bonded canvas, ultimately ensuring not only a slick aesthetic but also a performance-driven model.

The Rick Owens Double Bumper Canvas High-Top Ramones are complete with a signature pentagram logo that is embroidered on the side of the shoe, as well as a double-fastening system on the front, where there are laces, and on the side, where there is a zipper.

The stylish double bumper shoes come right after the designer's "bondage-inspired SS20 military boots," subtly communicating Owens' "muted gothic aesthetic." The shoes are available to consumers at the price of £440 through Matches Fashion.
