The Rick Owens Double Bumper Canvas High-Top Ramones gives an interesting take on the [basketball trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-sneaker-1). The shoe is characterized by a beige leather insole and an incredibly durable [bonded canvas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loved-to-death), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule) 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.
