2007 “Vans” in Black/White
Rick Owens 2007 "Vans" in a classic Black/White. Rick Owens once sought to pursue a low top Vans silhouette in addition to the highly acclaimed "Dunk" Sneaker which molded itself over a concoction of Nike hi top sneakers. Extremely rare and limited in quantity, this is in the "old skool" classic black/white colour featuring an all leather upper, shares a "Dunk" 'Staple Sole' and leather inner. Exaggerated silhouette, curved, like many Rick sneakers and bold accents. Contrast white stitching. Both staples are intact and show slight rusting which makes it in amazing condition for a 10 year old shoe as the staples are the first to deteriorate with Dunks as well. Upper is in perfect condition despite the natural dye bleeding from the black upper into some of the white parts. Hardly noticeable scuffing around the front sole. Heel drag. sz 40 but fits a 41.$1,100 -

06 Dustulator Pig Skin Dunks
Rick Owens 2006 Dustulator "Dunks". Made from soft Pig Skin in a brown colourway. The Iconic Rick Owens Dunk has many variations. This earlier variation had a detached tongue, lined with cow leather and imitation wool and the Nike "swoosh" placed a little lower. Rick's iconic "Rick in Heels" logo is sewn at the top of the tongue and its stitching is -not- apparent on the other side like the later variations. Raccagni zippers, stapled sole, extra long laces. Pig Skin is extremely elastic and bubbly, almost feels like a well oiled old person's face... In a good way. Rare Brown Colourway which complements the aged yellow sole. There is minor cracking on the sole, it is all cosmetic imperfections. The staples, for how old the shoes are, are in pristine condition, with only one of the staples reinforced with a mild anticorrosive adhesive. I'd like to emphasize, again, that these staples were extremely well taken care of and the shoe was properly resoled with a toplift quite frequently. For those who are unfamiliar, the staples in the back are the first to usually fall apart with the Dunk. Size notation is usually missing with the older renditions of the dunk. This does however fit a size 42.$955 -
