Hooked: Rick Owens for Adidas Men’s Shoes

Rick Owens and Adidas have again teamed up on a capsule of pupil-dilating, mind-twitching men’s shoes, three new styles introduced on the designer’s spring 2015 runway. The first is based on the loose boxing silhouette, employing covered lacing and Adidas’ new Spring Blade tooling on the sole — basically, a row of suspension rubber cantilevers that give height, buoyancy, and much foot interest to the wearer. The second model brings the same Spring Blade sole to a more traditional track shoe, while the shell-toe boot — the “Superstar” boot — recalls the classic Adidas shape, here recast in calf stretch-leather.

$666 – $938 at Rick Owens and Adidas stores, beginning mid-January 2015
