Rick Owens on USFans Spreadsheet

In the grid: the fur Geobasket high, leather high shoes, the low with the blue jumbo lace, plain Rick Owens shoes, the leather and denim Vans collaborations, the Mountain hoodie, a full-zip hoodie, plain hoodies, pants, a pink leather cargo, tees and a Stussy collaboration tee.

Sizing runs small and some listings use Italian numbering rather than EU, which is a genuine source of confusion — an IT 42 is not an EU 42. Check which system the chart is in before converting anything. On the apparel, the DRKSHDW cuts are long, draped and asymmetric by design: the hoodies run well past the hip and the cargos are wide with a dropped crotch, so sizing up chasing more length overshoots badly.

Footwear here is all silhouette. The Geobasket and Ramones are built on an exaggerated, slightly slouching shape with a large panelled toe and a bulky sole, and the appeal collapses if the last is built too upright or too narrow — judge it from a straight side profile, where the shoe should slouch, the ankle should be tall and the sole should have real thickness. On the jumbo-lace low, the lace is the design and should be a genuinely oversized flat cord rather than a normal lace in a wide colour. Leather quality is unusually visible on these because the panels are large and unbroken: look for consistent grain, a matte rather than plasticky sheen, and clean edges where the upper meets the sole.
