Luxury fashion house Maison Margiela introduces a new sock-like shoe that boasts a dirty worn-in design. The entire shoe is complete in a white foundation throughout the knit uppers and highlights a thick midsole. The uppers showcase large branding accents that read "MAISON MARGIELA" over the lateral sides in black to add some contrasting elements against the white knit construction.
Notably, the sock-like structure sits on top of a foundation sole unit that delivers flexible elements for added comfort. The dirty scuffed-up design travels through to the midsoles and outsoles as well to correlate to the overarching worn-in aesthetics. The Maison Margiela logo-printed sneakers are now available for purchase online at select stocklists including Farfetch.
