Discover Rick Owens Geobaskets – A Statement in Luxury Footwear
Geobasket
The Rick Owens Geobasket sneaker was launched in the Fall/Winter 2006 "Dustulator" collection. It features a high-top silhouette with a padded collar, extended tongue, and side zipper for easy wear. The design is inspired by classic high-top sneakers like the Nike Dunk, Adidas Forum, and Puma models. With its chunky sole and exaggerated proportions, the Geobasket becomes a Rick Owens signature.
Vintage
These sneakers are influenced by retro athletic shoes and trail running sneakers. It carries a sporty silhouette with layered paneling and a forward-looking, almost futuristic design. Available in both low-top and high-top versions, it showcases a sharp, elongated, angular shape on the side, while the thick white platform sole serves as a key design signature. The construction offers both durability and visual depth, making it a standout piece in Rick Owens’ sneaker lineup.
Strobe
The Fall/Winter 2022 Strobe collection captures a vampire-inspired aesthetic with rich textures and detailing. The design features a high-cut shape with uppers made from lamb shearling in a soft pearl tone. Zebra-striped accents appear on the collar and side panels, while calf leather is used for the toe caps, insoles, and inner lining. It has creamy laces, metallic silver zippers on the medial side, and the shark-tooth rubber outsoles provide a stable grip.
Ramones
Rick Owens Ramones sneakers are inspired by the timeless Converse Chuck Taylor silhouette. Available in high-top, low-top, and boot styles, the Ramones sneaker has a thick rubber toe cap, a chunky rubber sole, and comes in both canvas and leather uppers. Its minimalist shape, combined with exaggerated proportions, works with both casual and styled outfits.
Luxor Scarpe Pelle Series
It features a high-top build with either brown canvas or brushed suede uppers, embracing the FW23 earth-toned palette. A white or milk rubber toe cap and a shark-tooth sole define the lower half, reflecting Rick Owens' bold design DNA. The sneaker is completed with flat white laces, an extended tongue, and subtle branding.
DRKSHDW Sneaker Variants
It belongs to Rick Owens’ DRKSHDW line, a diffusion label offering more accessible versions of his mainline sneakers. These variants retain the original silhouettes but are often made with canvas and other lighter materials. The DRKSHDW sneakers include styles like low-top sneaks, double-bumper sneakers, and slip-ons.
Lido / Abstract Designs
This sneaker comes from the Spring/Summer 2024 DRKSHDW Lido/Abstract collection. It features an above-ankle height with eight eyelets and laces, plus an inside ankle zipper for easy fastening. The standout detail is its voluminous abstract bumper sole paired with large gimp eyelets at the upper ankle seam. Crafted from medium-weight cotton with a textured horizontal barre weave, this sneaker has a soft, washed feel.
Porterville
Next in line, the Porterville collection is named after Rick Owens’ hometown in California. These vintage sneakers are from the Fall/Winter 2024 DRKSHDW line-up version has jagged bumper soles and triangular leather appliques on the sides. It comes in dark dust or black versions, and is constructed using full-grain calf leather and velour suede for a rich texture and flat matte finish. The high vintage version features ten eyelets, graphic leather side detailing, padded ankles, and a combination of doeskin and suede. Shark tooth soles complete the rugged silhouette.
