Rick Owens S2011 Runway Gladiator Leather wedges - Size 38

-

Rick Owens' Spring/Summer 2011 collection featured some iconic and highly distinctive pieces, including these. These wedges were heavily inspired by ancient Roman gladiator sandals, but with a modern, avant-garde twist that is characteristic of Rick Owens.

-

Material: The wedges were made from high-quality leather, consistent with Rick Owens' preference for luxury materials.

-

Structure: They feature a strappy, cage-like design that wrapped around the foot and up the ankle, creating a dramatic and bold look. The leather straps were thick and wide, adding to the imposing, almost architectural nature of the shoes. Unlike typical gladiator sandals, these had a substantial wedge heel, which contributed to their modern, fashion-forward appearance. The heel was solid and chunky, providing both height and a striking silhouette.

These wedges are more of a statement piece than an everyday shoe. They’re designed to stand out and are often worn by those who are looking to make a bold fashion statement.
