It is made in Italy with a smooth leather upper (100% cow leather), leather lining (100% calf leather), and a removable padded footbed topped with calf leather; the outsole is a thermoplastic rubber shark-tooth design with a 6.5 cm (2.5 in) platform height. This lace-up model lacks a zipper, which makes it harder to put on, and reviews suggest the sole may wear relatively quickly; it is primarily used as a statement high-fashion sneaker for streetwear styling.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/men-footwear/designers/mega-geobasket-sneakers-men--8946-164251?colourId=0","brand":"Rick Owens","condition":"new","product_category":"men footwear > designers","material":"Upper: 100% cow leather;
