Storing and protecting the pony hair leather upper
These sneakers have a hair-on-hide upper that can't be conditioned or polished like smooth leather, and it doesn't recover well from rough handling, prolonged moisture, or pressure. Store them in a cotton dust bag away from friction and pressure, since stacking them under other shoes can permanently flatten the hair. Avoid applying leather balm or conditioner directly to the hair, which mats it.[3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Low-Profile Pony Hair Leather Sneaker Men: Choose this if you want a statement low-top sneaker with a distinctive black pony hair upper, round basketball-inspired toe, and thick cream rubber platform sole. It is made in Italy with a leather lining, shock-absorbent EVA midsole, non-skid rubber outsole, and comes with an extra pair of laces and a signature storage bag, in Black or Charcoal from sizes 40 to 46. Be aware that the natural hair-on-hide upper is particular to care for: it cannot be conditioned or polished, does not recover well from rough handling, moisture, or pressure, and its length, direction, texture, and color can be inconsistent because the hair is natural.[1,2,3,4] | Nubuck Low-Top Sneaker Men: Choose this if you want a Rick Owens low-top that pairs minimalist lines with a bold, thick cream platform sole and signature shark-tooth tread, built from a suede upper, leather lining and footbed, and a thermoplastic rubber outsole, made in Italy with spare laces and a signature storage bag included. It suits fans of the brand's basketball-inspired, 'monster trucks for my feet' aesthetic, in brown suede with cream rubber toe cap, available in sizes 40 through 46. Note that the nubuck-style upper is reported to develop aggressive patina from dye transfer when worn with dark denim — dramatic after a year of wear — so this suits those who want a shoe that ages visibly rather than staying pristine.[5,6,7,8] | Jumbo Lace Low-Rise Sneakers Men: Choose this if you want a bold, chunky designer sneaker — Rick Owens's low, round-toe silhouette drawn from basketball wear, with oversized jumbo laces and a thick signature shark-tooth outsole in thermoplastic rubber. It suits shoppers who appreciate statement styling: one shopper who tried them on in store loved the look, describing it as cartoonish but not too over the top. Note the jumbo lace look is described as polarizing within the Rick Owens community itself, and sizes run from 40 to 45.[9,10,11,12] |
