If their original collaboration was a little too far out there for you, and if their next one is a little too similar to existing models, maybe the current collection from Rick Owens and adidas will be more your speed. While impossible to call 'traditional,' it does feature a slightly more standard, yet still exaggerated, midsole design. Combine that with luxurious upper materials like leather, suede, and interesting textiles, and you've got a 'Tech Runner' that should never be run in, but sure looks interesting. Check out some detailed images below, and let us know your thoughts. How's this compare to the other collections from the collaboration?
