This updated take on the '80s classic also offered a one-of-a-kind accent on the one-star iconography branding and premium woven label.

One of the sleek and elegant ways to wear Owens' streetwear-oriented staples is to pair them with abstract and conceptual garments. A low-rise bootcut jeans can do the trick in adding a high fashion punk look while pairing it with shorts allows its elongated tongue to shine and make your legs appear longer. These pairs of shoes are also highly durable and are made to last for years in your wardrobe. Shop additional Rick Owens x Converse sneakers at GOAT .
