Rick Owens' 'Geobasket' design is rooted in basketball sneakers, with the name blending "geo" (meaning Earth) with "basket; " referring to the sport. This also explains why, for this pair, the designer has re-rendered the usual leather uppers in tactile green calf hair, giving them a unique 'grassy' appearance. Underneath are all the usual toolings, including extended high-top cuffs, oversized padded tongues and a chunky rubber sole.
