| Quad Sole Megalace Leather Mules Rick Owens X Dr. Martens Women: Choose this if you want a statement backless mule from the Rick Owens x Dr. Martens collaboration, with star-pattern lacing in beige, silvery palladium hardware, and a chunky quad platform sole standing 6.5 cm (2.5 inches) at the heel on a 5 cm (2 inch) platform. It suits wearers drawn to an industrial grunge, avant-garde look, built on a heavyweight 100% nubuck leather upper with leather lining and a leather padded footbed. The durable, slip-resistant PVC Quad sole has air cushions stated to aid shock absorption, and it is offered in Black in women's sizes 7 through 10.[1,2] | Geth Megalace® Sneaker Men: Choose this if you are looking for a distinctive statement piece with a maximalist design, featuring crossover laces and an oversized sole. It is crafted with a leather upper and calf leather lining, which provides a unique experience that some note feels more like a traditional leather shoe than a sneaker.[3,4] | Concordians Platform Boots Men: Choose this if you want an androgynous mid-calf platform boot with the dark extravagance of the Rick Owens aesthetic, made in Italy with a luxurious 100% calf leather upper, lining, and footbed and a dramatic 14 cm heel on a 7 cm sculpted wedge platform. The non-skid jagged outsole and back pull loop add everyday practicality, and a signature storage box and tote bag are included. Note the sizing runs in black only across sizes 40 through 43 and 45, so size 44 is not offered.[5,6] |
