What We Buy
Rick Owens Footwear We Buy
Rick Owens runs two lines. Mainline is the leather, made-in-Italy collection; DRKSHDW is the diffusion line, best known for canvas sneakers. Both have resale demand, but mainline leather pairs usually bring more.
Geobasket
The leather high-top with the oversized tongue and thick cupsole. Black with milk and black with white are the most requested; the leather should be supple, not cracked.
Ramones
High and low, in leather (mainline) or canvas (DRKSHDW). Canvas pairs show dirt on the toe cap and rubber, so clean ones stand out.
Jumbo Lace
The DRKSHDW sneakers with oversized flat laces. The laces carry the look, so pairs should come with the original jumbo laces, not replacements.
Runners and boots
Geth Runners, Bozo Tractors and other recent mainline styles. We check the sole construction and the leather, and we buy boots too.
Collabs
Rick Owens has worked with adidas, Converse and Dr. Martens, among others. Collab pairs should come with their original laces and boxes.
Pricing
What Moves a Rick Owens Offer
Rick Owens buyers are particular, and the offer reflects it.
- Line
- Mainline leather pairs usually bring more than DRKSHDW canvas. The label inside tells us which you have.
- Leather condition
- Rick Owens leathers are soft and show creasing and scratches. Supple, clean leather moves the offer up.
- Sole
- Thick white soles yellow and scuff. We look at how clean they are and how much tread is left.
- Size
- Rick Owens uses EU sizing. Men’s 41 to 45 sell fastest.
- Box and extras
- The box, dust bags and spare laces help, and on Jumbo Laces the original laces matter a lot.
Text clear photos of both shoes, the soles and the inside label to 917-608-8939 for a rough number.
Authentication
How We Check Rick Owens
Replica Geobaskets and Ramones are common. We compare the construction, the leather and the labels against known retail pairs.
- Inside label and size stamp: font, spacing and line
- Leather or canvas quality and how the panels are cut and stitched
- Sole shape, stitching and the outsole molding
- Laces, lace tips and hardware
- Box label and dust bags
Get Ready
Before You Bring Them In
Wipe leather with a damp cloth and let it dry on its own. On canvas, a soft brush and a little mild soap is enough.
- Clean the soles, especially the white toe caps
- Bring the original laces, box and dust bags
- Bring Rick Owens clothing too; we buy it
- Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale
