Maxfield continues its legacy of championing avant-garde fashion with the launch of its first-ever exclusive footwear collaboration, partnering with Rick Owens on a highly limited sneaker release that underscores both brands’ shared commitment to innovation, rarity, and uncompromising design. Titled Vintage Sneaks by Rick Owens for Maxfield, the project marks a defining moment in the long-standing relationship between the influential designer and the Los Angeles-based luxury retailer.
Designed exclusively for Maxfield, the Vintage Sneaks are crafted in black pirarucu leather, a rare material sourced from the large freshwater fish native to the Amazon Basin. Revered for its distinctive scaled texture, pirarucu leather reflects Owens’ ongoing exploration of unconventional luxury, material experimentation, and ethical innovation within high fashion. The choice of material elevates the sneaker beyond functionality, positioning it as a collectible object rooted in craft and concept.
The silhouette itself is unmistakably Rick Owens. Built at an under-ankle height, the sneaker features eight eyelets with traditional lacing, structured toe caps, and a triangular leather appliqué along the side. Anchoring the design is Owens’ iconic shark-toothed bumper sole, a defining element of his footwear language that merges brutalist aesthetics with sculptural precision. Completing the collaboration is a custom red insole, printed with both Rick Owens and Maxfield branding, signaling the sneaker’s status as a true exclusive.
Produced in an extremely limited run of just 24 pairs worldwide, spanning both men’s and women’s sizing, the Vintage Sneaks exemplify Maxfield’s dedication to rarity and archival-worthy fashion. Each pair is positioned not only as footwear, but as a collectible artifact within contemporary luxury culture.
The Maxfield-exclusive Vintage Sneaks by Rick Owens will launch on Saturday, December 20, 2025, and will be available exclusively at Maxfield Los Angeles, Maxfield Malibu, and online at maxfieldla.com.
Founded in Los Angeles, Maxfield has long been celebrated as a pioneering luxury retail destination, renowned for its avant-garde vision, world-class designer selection, and expansive archive of rare and collectible fashion objects. The collaboration with Rick Owens reinforces Maxfield’s role as a cultural gatekeeper for boundary-pushing design.
Since launching his eponymous label in 1994, Rick Owens has remained one of the most influential designers of his generation, redefining modern luxury through radical silhouettes, refined subversion, and fearless material experimentation. With the Vintage Sneaks, Owens and Maxfield come together to deliver a project that embodies exclusivity, craftsmanship, and a shared vision of fashion as art.
