Rick Owens has reintroduced the controversial Inflatable Porterville Boots, designed in collaboration with artist Straytukay, at a staggering price of $5,000. Shaped like inflated clouds that envelop the leg and extending from thigh to foot, these unconventional boots feature a visual wedge heel. Despite being made for occasional display rather than daily wear, their unique style and DIY inflation feature have garnered both adoration and ridicule online, particularly among fashion influencers and critics alike, showcasing the polarized reactions they elicit within the fashion community.
I am SO ashamed to be a human, cried a critic, responding to the newly resurrected Inflatable Porterville Boots via outré designer Rick Owens.
These are amazing, she gushed. I'm in love, said fashion influencer Kristy Sarah while modeling the swelled soles for her more than 16 million TikTok fans.
The primary purpose of the peculiar pair is reportedly for display or for use in special occasions and they are not suitable for everyday.
This is proof that people will buy anything that's trending, an equally unenthused onlooker.
