The light brown ones seem really goffy. Like a big gap-toothed cartoon.

I'm not overly familiar with his previous work, but the shoes he's done for Rick are just...not Rick. They're not terrible, but a bit uninspired and derivative of RM Williams or one of those boot companies I always mix up.i traded my LUC jeans + Julius belt + Neil Barrett jeans for a blamain biker jeans

super old but if any of you can name the myriad rules of his own rick has broken I will give you a $5 paypal gift card.
1. I’m not good at subtlety. If you’re not going to be discreet and quiet, then just go all the way and have the balls to shave off your eyebrows, bleach your hair, and put on some big bracelets.
2. Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.
3. I’ve lived in Paris for six years, and I’m sorry to say that the Ugly American syndrome still exists. Sometimes you just want to say “Stop destroying the landscape with your outfit.” Still, from a design standpoint, I’m tempted to redo the fanny pack. I look at it as a challenge—it’s something to react against.
4. When a suit gets middle-of-the-road it kind of loses me—it has to be sharp and classic and almost forties.
5. Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggressive.
6. There’s something a little too chatterboxy about color. Right now I want black, for its sharpness and punctuation.
7. Jean-Michel Frank, the thirties interior and furniture designer, supposedly had 40 identical double-breasted gray flannel suits. He knew himself and is a wonderful example of restraint and extravagance.
8. I hate rings and bracelets on men. I’m not a fan of man bags, or girl bags either—or even sunglasses. I don’t like fussy accessories. Isn’t it more chic to be free? Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.
9. With layering, sometimes the more the better. When you layer a lot of black you’re like a walking Louise Nevelson sculpture, and that’s pretty attractive. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also one of the most attractive things you can do.
10. It’s funny—whenever someone talks about rules, I just want to break them. I recoil from the whole idea of rules.

He does handle certain aspects having to do with production but when it comes to pure design it is all Rick, he's not the type of designer who is removed from the product you get, good or bad. IMHO there is a lot of interesting stuff being done (like those huge boots with the crazy sole) and some uninteresting styling, but success and failure should really be attributed to RO himself and I don't think he'd have it any other way. In a sense it is quite reassuring that he isn't cashing in and getting removed from his main job as a designer.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
