Rick Owens WMNS Sneaks - Black / Milk

I was a bit worried about the zipper at first, but it slides smoothly and the medial placement makes them easy to get on and off. The thermoplastic rubber outsole has great grip even on polished floors, which surprised me.

The cow leather upper feels substantial but not stiff, and it took barely any break-in time. I love how the black and milk colorway makes these look both edgy and clean.

The zipper closure on the side makes them so easy to slip on and off, and the flat cotton laces add a nice subtle touch. The black and milk colorway looks even better in person, really clean and versatile.
