Thank you so much clarkda, that really helps! I've decided to go to the store and look at it irl. It's quite far for me, but it's worth it, it's new and they gave me a very good price.

I bought it! It fits perfectly and has a very very slight amount of shimmer. I'll try to post modeling pics later

It looked pretty great in the pic. Nice find!
Hi everyone, I'm a long time Rick lover (think pre Paris days!) but I'm currently having trouble making up my mind and I'm hoping you can help sway me either way. Does anyone own the black leather high top sneaker with the zip? I love them but having a hard time swallowing 1200 bucks for sneakers.......worth it or not? I know I will get a lot of wear out of them, but still.........fabulous or crazy? Thanks!
I think they're awesome but agree the price is a bit over the top. I feel like I've seen them on sale though... can't think where exactly... will keep my eyes open.
What will weigh more heavily on you in the future: spending 1200 on a pair of shoes, or not owning a pair of shoes you love and lust for?
i hate that nagging little list of items you loved but never bought and now it's too late
Have you tried them on yet?
Did you want to wear them out of the store?
If it's the price can you risk waiting for a reduction?
So with you on this. Glamorous practical shoes are so hard to find and it all comes down to how they work for you and your life.
Thank you! I've seen the lace up version on sale but not these, at least not yet. These are the ones I love. There's a zip on the inside ankle.

Excellent point, I've definitely been guilty of spending that before but never on a "sneaker", lol. Somehow I could justify it for a pair of boots or a jacket, etc. Flawed logic I suppose, I will wear these a lot. My other current desire is a fab pair of Dries oxfords and they are a lot less....
I may be answering my own question here....
Hi! Yes, I've tried them and they are on hold. Last pair, although I found them online also so I could take a chance on getting them on sale. And yes, I loved them so much I wanted to wear them right out of the store
It's when I got home that my brain started taking over.......
Since my wardrobe is seriously 65-70 percent Rick I guess it's safe to say they will go with just about everything. And I'm a bit tired of my wedge boots:shame:
Thanks for the replies everyone!
Need some help from more experienced RO lovers.
Does anyone have problems with the long sleeves? I love RO but the sleeves can get pretty long. Absolutely love lilies with the quality and style.
For the leather jackets, I need to buy off NAP, it's easier (dont have a store in Suisse etc). I can do the blister washed leather or washed leather. Do you have problems with the sleeves? Do you like the leather? Which one is considered a RO classic leather jacket?
Sorry for my thousand questions, I know you guys will know better. I really would prefer to get a RO than another brand.

1. The long sleeves are comfortable/don't get annoying, you can always roll up the cuff if it pleases you.
2. Roma boutiques in switzerland stock Rick Owens
3. Classic biker or naska biker or clean biker are the most "classic" rick owens leather jackets
4. I like the blister leather but thats just my pref.
Great. Great. Thanks a ton. I also like the blister leather and may give it a try.
Need to check it out. With my schedule nap always works the best for me.

I'm little, 5ft (1m54cm), and the sleeves aren't an issue. At least in terms of the jackets since the leather is soft and the sleeves are half-leather half-cloth they are easily pushed up. Since the arm/wrist openings are so little the extra length doesn't hang over your hands or fingers anyhow, it just accumulates as bunched fabric in the sleeve. The idea of bunched fabric may sound uncomfortable but it's not even noticeable in terms of feeling and looks cool. It matches the relaxed look of the jackets.
