Brushed Horse Leather Classic Derby

FW09 Rick Owens Dunks in black made from lamb leather upper. These dunks are the iconic Rick Owens high tops that ceased production after a C&D from Nike. Many iterations were made over the years, different colourways, materials and construction including one collaboration with Chrome Hearts.This Dunk iteration is made from the more durable, softer and high grain Lamb Leather. "I swooned with flattery when Nike sent me a cease and desist" - Rick Owens Staples at the back were professionally mended by a cobbler. No cracks on soles, upper is in great condition with some drying at the toebox. Sz 42 or so.

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.
