Rick Owens SS21 "Phlegethon" Brown Suede Metal-Toe Kiss Boots
Product Overview The Rick Owens "Kiss Boot" is an absolute pinnacle of avant-garde footwear, celebrated for its dramatic height and theatrical, gender-bending proportions. Hailing from the highly praised SS21 "Phlegethon" collection, this specific pair features the legendary metal-toe grill design. Swapping out standard black leather for a rich, textured brown suede, this rare iteration delivers a rugged, untamed aesthetic that looks incredibly striking and raw on-body. Now fully discontinued, this low-volume production run is widely considered an ultimate archival grail.
Key Design Elements
Iconic Metal-Toe Grill: The defining feature of this silhouette is the bold, industrial silver-tone metal plate capping the dramatic, square-cut bevel toe box.
Premium Brown Suede Construction: Crafted from a luxury, heavy-weight brown suede. The matte texture absorbs light beautifully, providing a rich depth of color that serves as a striking contrast to the metallic accents.
Exaggerated Platform & Block Heel: Built with the signature chunky clear/tinted plexiglass or covered block heel and a massive front platform, completely altering the wearer's proportions and establishing an imposing, commanding presence.
Sleek Chelsea Boot Elastic: Designed with heavy-duty, tight-weave elastic side goring that keeps the ankle profile incredibly slim and streamlined, ensuring the trousers drape flawlessly over the boot.
Sizing & Fit Profile
Tagged Size: 41.5.
Fit Note: True to the accommodating nature of Rick Owens' elasticated boots, this pair is highly versatile. The generous toe box and flexible shaft allow a tagged 41.5 to comfortably fit anyone from a true international EU 41 up to an EU 43 (depending on your preferred insep volume and sock thickness).
