Rick Owens DRKSHDW Canvas High-Top Black Milk Penta

About the Rick Owens DRKSHDW Canvas High-Top Black Milk Penta

The Rick Owens DRKSHDW Canvas High Top Black Milk Penta is one of the most recognizable and most broadly accessible silhouettes in the DRKSHDW footwear range, a canvas high-top sneaker that takes the familiar American athletic high-top format and subjects it to the Rick Owens DRKSHDW design treatment: proportional distortion, material precision, the Black and Milk color relationship, and the Penta construction detail that gives this version of the DRKSHDW high-top its specific character within the broader lineup. DRKSHDW, the diffusion line launched by Rick Owens in 2005, was conceived as a more accessible and more streetwear-oriented expression of Owens' main-line aesthetic, retaining the brand's signature dark themes, high-quality material standards, and design intelligence while applying them to casual garment and footwear formats that connect to the skateboarding, punk, and underground cultures that Owens has always positioned as the spiritual foundation of his work. The Canvas High Top's construction builds on the standard high-top basketball sneaker template with a black canvas upper, the Milk off-white round rubber toe cap that contrasts against the black body in the specific Black/Milk relationship that has become one of the most recognizable DRKSHDW footwear signatures, off-white lace-up closure, eyelet vents at the inner side, and the Milk treaded rubber sole. The Penta designation references the pentagonal construction or detailing element specific to this version of the canvas high-top. Made in Italy to DRKSHDW's standard production quality, the shoe retails at $672 and represents the entry-level price point for Rick Owens footwear while delivering the brand's DNA in the most universally familiar and most broadly wearable silhouette in the catalog. The Rick Owens DRKSHDW Canvas High Top Black Milk Penta is the DRKSHDW footwear entry point for the collector and wearer who wants Rick Owens' design language in the most familiar high-top canvas sneaker format with the Penta construction detail and the brand's most iconic Black and Milk color contrast relationship. The Rick Owens DRKSHDW Canvas High Top Black Milk Penta is available at a retail price of $672.
