Rick Owens introduces his latest iteration of the Strobe sneaker model in a Pearl and Milk colorway palette for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. The shoes are prepared for the colder seasons of the year with the cozy look throughout the upper, detailed with lamb shearling real fur fabric in a pearl color.
It is then accented with Zebra-themed stripes to the high-cut silhouette along the collars and side panels. The accenting colors include black, orange, and green to provide tonal contrast. The interior lining is made with calf leather, which is also the material used to create the insoles and toe cap as well. Additional details include the creamy tonal laces and the silver zippers on the medial side for easy wearing.
