Rick Owens is clearly owning the sneaker market. And talk about a statement shoe—his chunky high-tops have been seen in shades of gray, white, and beige all the way from NYC to Seoul. While clearly a defining piece to the hot guy's uniform of the moment, a few women have been pulling them off with confidence as well. A little bit Zack Morris/Fresh Prince/Marty McFly meets the dark side, they're sure getting lots of love.
