The collaboration brings with it a silhouette called the 'Mastodon Pro' that is clearly inspired by the edgy style that Rick Owens is known for. The textured high-tops come in a variety of muted colors including black, white, off-white, burgundy and a dark mauve. The shoes have a simplistic design that is enhanced by the textured surface of the shoes. The collaboration also brings [adidas boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-x-dr-martens) that are clearly inspired by the same punk style that Rick Owens embodies. These shoes come at a high cost but for people who can afford them, they are an excellent novelty item to have. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Textured High-tops:** Opportunity for retailers to explore collaborations with designers to create unique and edgy sneaker designs. - **Collaborative Silhouettes:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with designers to create new and exclusive shoe designs. - **Punk-inspired Sneakers:** Opportunity for sneaker brands to tap into the punk aesthetic by collaborating with influential designers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to showcase and sell unique sneakers that are the result of collaborations between brands and designers. - **Footwear Design:** Opportunity for footwear designers to experiment with textures and collaborate with fashion brands to create innovative and edgy sneaker designs. - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity for luxury brands to target high-end consumers with exclusive and limited-edition sneaker collections, offering a unique and novelty item. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bulbous Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-avavav-moonrubber-megaride.md) - [Exclusive Hairy Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campus-00-1.md) - [Textural Chunky Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-and-adidas-1.md) - [Elevated Industrial Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-x-dr-martens.md) - [Avant-Garde Dramatic Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-dmxl-megalace.md) - [Dynamic Textural Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thug-club-1.md) - [Dynamic Textural Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-mid-sneaker.md) - [Mohair-Crafted Premium Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-og-sneaker.md) - [Cow Print High-Top Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid.md)
