Full breakdown
The Rick Owens Concordians is a low-to-mid top sneaker featuring a multi-layered sole unit, a leather upper with tonal stitching, and a more rounded toe shape compared to the angular Geobasket.

FAQ
How does the Concordians compare to the Geobasket?
The Geobasket is taller, more angular, and more iconic within the Rick Owens world. The Concordians is softer, lower, and more approachable. For first-time Rick Owens buyers, the Concordians is an easier entry point. For the full Rick experience, the Geobasket delivers more impact.
Is the Concordians comfortable?
The leather upper breaks in well over a few wears and the sole provides reasonable cushioning. It's more comfortable than the Geobasket due to its lower profile. Still, it's a fashion shoe — don't expect athletic footwear comfort.
How does Rick Owens sizing work for the Concordians?
Rick Owens uses Italian sizing and runs narrow. Most buyers recommend going half to full size up from their US size, or true to their European size. The leather stretches slightly but the sole length doesn't change.
Is the Concordians a good first Rick Owens shoe?
It's one of the more accessible Rick Owens sneaker options. The lower profile and softer design make it easier to integrate into existing wardrobes than the Geobasket or Ramones. The price is still steep, but within the Rick Owens range it's reasonable.
