Rick Owens Black High-Top Sneakers with a Fur-and-Leather Upper and Side Zip

Pros

• · Upper is listed as fur-and-leather, with a textile insole and rubber sole in stitched construction
• · Side zipper plus lace closure, so entry is easy while laces still adjust the fit
• · Unisex size run covering women's 36–43 and men's 38–47
• · High-top shaft, mid 7–11 cm opening depth, solid black with visible stitching detail

Cons

• · Brand-level reports say Rick Owens sizing is not uniform across models — some pairs fit true to size, others (e.g. Ramones) run about a half size large
• · Sizing down on the assumption a pair runs big has been reported to cause heel or ankle discomfort
• · Long-time brand customers describe newer production (roughly post-2019) as using thinner leather than older pieces; this is a brand-level observation, not a finding on this pair
• · Secondhand Rick Owens footwear listings sometimes show soles and heels already replaced or reworked, pointing to outsole wear over time

Fit notes

The listing spans women's 36–43 and men's 38–47, but Rick Owens fit varies by model: buyers report true-to-size fits on some pairs and roughly a half size large on others. Wide-footed owners split between sizing up one and staying true to size. Check this specific model's fit rather than assuming.

Buy if

For a buyer who wants a black high-top with a fur-and-leather upper, side-zip entry plus laces, and who is willing to confirm model-specific fit and sole construction with the seller before ordering.

Skip if

A mismatch if you need documented fit consistency or wear reports for this exact pair — the only claims here are brand-level Rick Owens sizing and quality notes. Also skip if outsole longevity is your deciding factor.
