No, he's just a tall guy with a long torso. I've had people insist I'm wearing low rise (which I never have in my life) when I have on high rise Sugar Canes, because I think most people in the hobby (especially on the denim side for some reason) are short.
Take a look at his belt and his wrist in this photo and let us know if you insist he's not wearing low rise pants:
This is size 44 on me lol
And I agree with @cbez , high rise or even just normal rise pants aren't part of mainstream men's fashion these days - sadly. It's not as bad as 10-15 years ago when men would wear their belts on their pubic bones on skinny jeans, but the average pants are still anywhere from ergonomically and aesthetically sound.
