Rick Owens Sneakers

Elise and Jesse shoes
I photographed Jesse and his girlfriend wearing similar artfully grungy ensembles, complete with lightly tattered shirts and a monochromatic color palette. It was Jesse’s kicks that really caught my eye because I instantly recognized them as Rick Owens sneakers. Owens’ sneakers for men are far more wearable than his wedge boots for men. My friend Adam Sinding over at 21 Arrondissement owns the wedges, and they are difficult to break in (although I greatly admire his sacrifice for fashion). I think that Owens’ ability to push boundaries, and to coax people – especially men – out of their comfort zones with pieces like menswear skirts, is one of the core pillars of his success.
You too can own these sneakers, just click on over to view them at LuisaViaRoma.

Enough Electric Forest coverage, right? Let me present to you Sean, whose baller attitude and insane swag made her an easy spot. Now, I just have to figure out where to find that teddy bear purse…
