Rick Owens x Adidas is over

grailed.com/drycleanonly/history-of-rick-owens-adidas-collaboration

With several seasons under their belts, the partnership between Owens and adidas seems second nature. But, even with the resounding success of Owens’ work with adidas, it is official that the partnership is coming to a close. While the three stripes and Owens have enjoyed working together across several collections, Owens will be ending its work with adidas following the Fall/Winter 2017 season. Instead, as seen on the men's Spring/Summer 2018 runway, Rick Owens has begun a new footwear collaboration series with Hood Rubber.

uhh okay?

why are you telling me this?
i don't care

imagine going on a board pertaining to a topic you dont care about, clicking a thread about a topic you dont care about, then proceeding to take the time to make a post about how much you dont care about the topic

Too bad. The collaboration really produced some nice models like the techrunners and the mastodons. Don't really like the vibe or aesthetic of Hood Rubber but I guess it fits to Rick his vision.

they have another sock model that looks pretty good

eh, i think that they did some cool stuff together but also it ran its course. it's a bummer but i'm looking forward to whatever ol ricky does next

>one of the rare times actual fashion (or at least something similar) is discussed
shakin my damn head

Good riddance, the only good model to come out of this partnership was the tech runner.

Rick is a meme. Now that Adidas is the coolest brand in the world they can't be bothered to be seen with such jokesters.

Can anybody fix up a "My friendship with Rick ended. Now Yohji is my new bestfriend" pics?

Mastodons are nice.

they were once, indeed, unfortunately they're extinct

Never heard of Hood Rubber, interested to see what will come out of this.

Im sad they didn't do more versions of the angular tech runner, those were cool as hell.

fuck off

:3

hahaha top shitpost.

Rick Owens x UNIQLO 2018 cap this

Watch the board split at the seams

The new sock Land Runners look really good, but I'll still expect great footwear from Rick.

Sad because it actually provides interesting models.
Now Raf should really stop mixing colors for autism shoes. There's white Rafstans and one good colorway for Memeweegos each season at best. Rest of it is fuckin trash.

fuckin perfect

Hood runners look odd, they look like those cheap off brand leather shoes you buy in those tacky fashion magazines, the design really reminds me of exactly that, but some of the designs actually do look pretty high end and high quality, I would rather see ricky make his own shoe's and or keep working with adidas, his own shoes are usually very unique and interesting, I doubt I would actually buy them as a much as I would with his more down to earth adidas designs.. eh.

Rick is releasing these in September - updated Mastodon Pros without the branding.

>Hood Rubber
Sounds like a black porn site

and the Mastodon

Glad Rick saw how normie Adidas is now

I've been waiting for this all my life

Rick needs access to leathers for his nice shit and normie sjws at Adidas want to move to full synthetics.

>inb4 some retarded shit about drksdw line being vegan

Looking at Hood Rubber's website, they've got some decent silhouettes and aren't afraid of using leather. This is a good move. Can't wait to buy the first release.

bump

Now I want Raf and Adidas to split

just looked at hood rubbers store, rick would make a great partner to tinker with these kinds of silhouettes.

damn shame im a poorfag

Hoodrubber stuff already looks like a redwing x uniqlo collab. Also, expecting all this new collab to be lunarcore moonboots and nothing interesting
