Art of the Collab: Benicio del Toro Models Mick Rock’s Bowie Kicks

Legendary photographer Mick Rock is launching a new sneaker line in conjunction with TheCollaboratory, and he’s enlisted Oscar winner Benicio del Toro to model the trendy kicks in As If magazine.

With the shoes showing off the late, great David Bowie, del Toro agreed to the interview only if Rock — his interviewer — agreed to talk about “music, culture, and rock-n-roll.”

In fact, del Toro turns the tables at one point, quizzing Rock on his iconic images of Bowie.

Check out their conversation about the Beatles, the Velvet Underground, the Rolling Stones — and, of course, check out the limited-edition shoes — in the new issue of As If. Get the kicks via TheCollaboratory.
