"Owens who typically designs bulkier and much more avant garde footwear options for his namesake line hit an internal revelation questioning himself, “‘What shoes am I going to wear running?’ I can’t wear my big chunky basketball shoes — I’d look like a dinosaur running through the Tuileries.”"

he's not as collab-happy as, say, jun takahashi (undercover). i didn't really see it coming, the only other collab that i know offhand rick did was eastpack, and that wasn't really even a "rick owens" collab it was for drkshdw

But Jun has talked about it in several interviews that he doesn't just do it for money and only does organic collaborations???
Rick doing a collaboration with a brand like Adidas literally just seems to me like a cash in - he knows those who are less well off will buy Rick Owens light, namely the audience hypebeast targets. Whereas most of Undercover's collaborations aren't a watered down, lower quality "Undercover Lite", but rather a different, interesting aesthetic (AFFA, Gyakusou).
But Rick is bad anyway, so whatever.

whoops, yeah, typo, i was thinking of the Uniqlo collab. everything there was basically a uniqlo garment with an extra pocket or zipper. it was a revolting exercise in consumer manipulation

if you think it's a stretch to say UU is "Undercover Lite" you've likely never handled either lines. i'm not even sure that's necessary though, just compare from pics the difference in level of craft/design. unfortunately, undercover has declined in terms of design since '06

he popularized RO in a demographic that previously had no clue about him.
So now this collab is a pretty quick way to grab some cash and milk that lower income demo. that he didnt have before.
Its either greed or just flatout pandering to a new fanbase but either way it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I'd like to trust Rick and think this is coming from a genuine place but i just dont see it.
