Description

The Rick Owens 2024SS Autumn/Winter “Super Thick Octopus Bottom” series is a bold and avant-garde footwear design, continuing Owens’ signature dark, architectural aesthetic with exaggerated proportions. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the features you mentioned:

Key Features:

1. Upper Material:

   • Top Layer: Premium water-dyed calfskin (rich texture, deep color saturation).

   • Inner Layer: Also water-dyed calfskin for consistency in quality and comfort.

2. Sole Construction:

   • Original Open Mold AP Foamed Sole:

     • Thickness: 11 (likely 11cm, contributing to the “octopus” suction-cup-like stacked sole aesthetic).

     • Lightweight & Durable: Despite the chunky appearance, the foam material ensures wearability.

Design Aesthetic:

Styling Tips:

• Pairs well with wide-leg Rick Owens cargo pants, draped skirts, or tailored goth-inspired fits.

• Contrasts sharply with sleek, minimalist outfits for a high-fashion statement.

Availability & Pricing:
