Denim-blue canvas is the one thing that sets this pair apart from the rest of the line — most of the range sticks to black, brown, grey, or pink, so landing on this mid-tone blue changes the whole feel. Same diagonal cream suede panel across the side, same tall cupsole underneath, but the color does a lot of the heavy lifting here.
Why Blue Works Differently
Against the darker or neutral colorways, blue reads almost like a denim reference closer to workwear than the usual Rick Owens palette. The cream panel and laces still provide contrast, but it’s a softer contrast than what shows up against black or brown.
- Fabric: Blue canvas twill, cream suede side panel
- Sole: Off-white cupsole, ridged tread
- Laces: Extra-long cream flat laces
- Toe: Reinforced cap with contrast stitching
- Fit: Low-top
Styling Around the Color
Since blue already reads casual, these sit naturally with actual denim or washed cotton pieces something that wouldn’t look right with the black or pink pairs. Keep everything else fairly plain so the shoe doesn’t end up competing with itself.
A Color That Shows Wear Differently
Lighter blues show fading and dirt faster than black. Spot clean often, and keep the suede panel brushed so it doesn’t flatten or collect dust.
Also worth checking: Rick Owens Denim Jacket for a matching tonal pairing.
