Chrome Hearts x Rick Owens "Dunk" Leather Sneakers (2010)
Product Overview Widely regarded as the "Holy Grail" of high-fashion footwear collaborations, the Chrome Hearts x Rick Owens Dunk represents the absolute pinnacle of archival luxury. This 2010 release merged Rick Owens’ most iconic avant-garde silhouette with Chrome Hearts' legendary sterling silver hardware. Given that this specific iteration was produced in extremely limited quantities and is now over 15 years old, finding a pair in near-deadstock condition with its original documentation is a definitive event for world-class collectors.
Key Design Elements
Signature RO Dunk Silhouette: Built on the original Rick Owens Dunk block, featuring the iconic "Swoosh" parody, high-top padded collar, and aggressive shark-tooth sole.
Bespoke Chrome Hearts Silverware: The sneaker is elevated by authentic sterling silver (.925) hardware, including signature Chrome Hearts cross-motif eyelets, scroll-logo lace tips, and a massive silver dagger zipper pull.
Hand-Finished Leather: Crafted from premium, heavyweight calf leather that has aged remarkably well, maintaining its structural integrity and deep black pigment.
Exceptional Provenance: This pair includes the original 2010 purchase receipt and the full original box set—a critical detail for verifying authenticity in a market where this model is heavily scrutinized.
Measurements & Fit Note
Tagged Size: 41.5
Fit Profile: Rick Owens Dunks of this era typically run slightly large. A 41.5 will comfortably accommodate a true US 8.5 to 9. The substantial leather construction and silver hardware add a significant weight and presence to the foot.
Condition Note

Specifics: Pristine upper and silver hardware with virtually no signs of wear. The only evidence of age is minor superficial soiling on the outsoles, otherwise remaining in museum-quality condition.
