" If you&amp;#039;re a relatively normal guy, and you happen to hate running, you probably deal with it one of two ways. Either you suck it up and go for a run, or you... don&amp;#039;t. Well, if you&amp;#039;re Rick Owens and you hate running, the story is just a little different. You don&amp;#039;t suffer through it and you don&amp;#039;t just give up. Instead, you design a capsule collection of sneakers for Adidas so you can have new running shoes.  &amp;quot;I work out like a fiend but I hate, hate, hate cardio. I realized I&amp;#039;m in my fifties now and I need to do something for my heart and lungs. So, I&amp;#039;ve got to start running,&amp;quot; the Paris-based designer told WWD yesterday. &amp;quot;I thought to myself, &amp;#039;What shoes am I going to wear running?&amp;#039; I can&amp;#039;t wear my big chunky basketball shoes \u2014 I&amp;#039;d look like a dinosaur running through the Tuileries.&amp;quot; Enter the collab with Adidas, which will give Rick something to wear while he&amp;#039;s out for a jog. It&amp;#039;ll also give fans of the high-end designer a more accessible way to get his signature style on their feet. Granted, more accessible doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily mean cheap: Shoes from the capsule collection will run you about $400 to $500. But then, when Owens&amp;#039;s own designs cost about as much as rent ($1,600 for some), that&amp;#039;s one hell of a bargain. At least, that&amp;#039;s how you can justify it to yourself when you start fiending after the new styles when they debut at the Rick Owens men&amp;#039;s show on June 27th.
