Maison Margiela's latest 'Future Laminated' sneakers arrive as the recent iteration of the signature silhouette, coming strongly from an Avant-Garde angle. It is complete in a high-top cut this time around, with the spotlight hitting the uppers. The uppers are now adorned in a translucent material sitting on top of a shark-tooth sole foundation.
The reworked version informs the uppers to be wrapped with the clear material, which is a laminated polyurethane. The aforementioned outsoles boast the shark-tooth details with additional details informed by lacing systems and an additional ankle strap. The uppers are also infused with soft leather materials in order to add comfort. The bold design is predominantly neutral in color, with beige, black, white, and some touches of yellow.
