Rick Owens DRKSHDW Jumbo Lace Platform Sneakers Black

Rick Owens DRKSHDW Jumbo Lace Platform Sneakers Black

This high-top runs on one of the thickest platform soles in Rick Owens’ sneaker catalog, a tall, flat cream unit that sits well below a black canvas upper. Jumbo cream laces thread through wide metal eyelets, thicker than a standard cord and easier to see against the black canvas. The tall collar and rounded cream toe cap keep the proportions consistent with the brand’s other high-tops, just scaled up through the sole. It’s one of the more exaggerated platform builds in Rick Owens’s DRKSHDW range.

How Much Sole Is Under There

The platform sole here runs noticeably taller and flatter than the brand’s standard two-tier units, giving the whole silhouette more visual weight from the side. It’s a straightforward way to add height without a wedge or heel.

Let the Platform Set the Proportions

Because the sole already adds significant height, keep pant hems slightly cropped or rolled so the platform stays visible rather than hidden under fabric. It pairs easily with the same black and cream palette used throughout the rest of the DRKSHDW range.

The Tallest Sole in the Lineup

If you want the most exaggerated platform sole the brand offers in canvas, this is one of the more dramatic options in the current catalog. See the rest of the Rick Owens Shoes range for lower-profile alternatives in the same silhouette. Try this pair on and feel the height difference for yourself.
