If you’re late to latch on to the sneaker trend, these upcoming stunners from Rick Owens will make it hard for you to hold out any longer.

Owens’ new styles are elevated to a new level, as in, knee-high and mid-height stretch boots. With re-imagined soles from his 2014 Runners, these boots create a whole new offshoot to the sneaker trend, giving it new life and direction. The merging ideas of an athletic shoe and a desert boot create something totally unique- urban yet outdoorsy, and commanding of attention. Whether you’re into the look or not, boots like these will start a conversation, and demand some creative outfitting.
As seen on the runway of his fall 2015 menswear collection, Owen’s boots look amazing with tailored shorts layered with close fitting knit pants, as well as beneath trench coats with touches of rust, a nod to the theme of decay that Owens loves so much.
The key to wearing these successfully is to think outside the box. Just because they are athletic inspired, doesn’t mean your outfit needs to be sporty. The more interesting the contrast, the better. This collaboration will hit the market this summer, so get ready to camp out, they’ll be gone in an instant.
