Puzzling over the story behind
Rick Owens' Phleg Runner trainers? We're pleased to report it's just as compelling as their shape: it references Phlegethon, the title of the designer's SS21 show, named after one of the underworld rivers in Greek mythology. But there's more to this pair than a cool backstory. Stitched together from soft leather, they're an exaggerated version of a classic running shoe, with an elongated heel tab adding a sculptural element.
