SneakersCONVERSE X RICK OWENS TURBOWPN MID
29 April 2022Continuing their collaborative relationship with avant-garde extraordinaire Rick Owens, Converse share a duo of the TURBOWPN Mid sneakers.
Combining Converse’s all-American sportswear style with Rick Owens’ avant-garde design codes, the TURBOWPN Mid sneaker is a behemoth of unconventional design. Splicing together the Weapon silhouette’s retro basketball aesthetic touches with the Californian designer’s dark and gothic sense of style, the two colourways deliver esotericism in spades.
Constructed with luxurious tumbled leather, a chunky sole unit adds bold flair, while Converse’s iconic One Star emblem is contorted with Owens’ neo-Gothic iconography. Finished with an elongated tongue – a nod to the designer’s own sneaker silhouettes – Rick Owens and Converse deliver the perfect DRKSHDW sneaker style.
Dressed in Egret and Clay respectively, each sneaker encapsulates elements of Rick Owens' unparalleled design DNA. Brimming with his instantly recognisable charm, the two styles build on the Weapon's foundation, contorting the sporting sneaker with the unconventional eye of one of the 21st Century's true iconoclasts.
