Rick Owens, known for his unconventional fusion of avant-garde aesthetics and athletic wear, has made waves in the sneaker community with his collaborative endeavors alongside Converse. With its century-old foundation, the legacy of Converse complements the cutting-edge innovations brought by Owens, creating designs that bridge the past and future. Following the revival of the classic Converse Weapons silhouette, thanks to partnerships with fragment designs and Undefeated, Owens dives deep once again to present the TURBOWPN Cream Black, a fresh iteration.
The TURBOWPN Cream Black carries forward the distinctive design elements Owens introduced in previous collaborations: the extended tongue, plush collars, and exaggerated panels. For this release, the luxury leather upper is drenched in a creamy palette, offset by stark black detailing. Key features include the prominent black featured on details like the Y-Strap on the collar, the uppermost eyestay, and the co-branded tongue tag. Adding depth is the signature DRKSHDW logo by Rick Owens on the lateral side and the timeless Converse All-Star emblem on the medial side. Below, the sneaker is anchored by an enlarged cream-colored vulcanized rubber midsole, harmoniously paired with a rubber outsole of the same shade.
The Rick Owens x Converse DRKSHDW TURBOWPN Cream Black will release October 3, 2023, through Nike SNKRS, Converse, Rick Owens, and selected retailers both online and in-store. Offered in men’s sizes, the retail price is set at $200.
