adidas introduced Springblade technology in 2013. It featured independently tuned blades in the outsoles of running shoes, designed to provide explosive energy return and propel runners forward.
In the Spring/Summer 2015 season, Rick Owens experimentally adopted this propulsive technology for the first time. The collaboration models Blade High and Blade Runner pushed the boundaries of how Springblade technology could look and feel.
And now, Rick Owens has once again reinterpreted Springblade through his signature avant-garde lens.
SPRINGBLADE BOOT
The Springblade Boot features an ankle-height elastic cuff, a signature Rick Owens detail. Its unique form expands from the opening toward the toe, creating a subtle drape.
The tongue features the adidas Badge of Sport logo. Pearl-colored cotton ribbons with collaboration logos adorn the inner and outer sides, while the insoles feature the adidas Badge of Sport and OWENSCORP logos.
The upper is made from CORDURA® based on recycled polyester. It combines a leather toe cap with the distinctive Springblade sole.

“The shape of this boot is inspired by the “Taco Boots” we’ve been making for the past few seasons. We call them Taco Boots because the pattern is constructed in the simplest way possible, wrapping around the foot. As a result, it creates a volume that feels both effortless and luxurious. And I’m of Mexican descent, so I love tacos.”
— Rick Owens
