References: highsnobiety
During the MM6 AW22 show that was presented earlier this year, the footwear collection garnered global attention that highlights the cross high and low. It fuses elements that stem from style, runway, mountain, street, and more. Each shoe has opposing palettes including black and white along with bold red as the low-cut has hues of green, blue, grey, and tan.
The MM6 team speaks about the new shoe, stating that Our motivation was to create a shoe that could easily transition between cityscapes and the great outdoors — a single product that both maintained Salomon’s high-performance specifications and also resonated with MM6 Maison Margiela’s contemporary aesthetic. The core idea, though, was the same as it always is for us. Our goal was to push Salomon’s performance-driven designs to such an extreme that they seamlessly integrated into the MM6 Maison Margiela wardrobe .”
