MM6 Maison Margiela Presents a Pair of Salomon Mules
References: highsnobiety
MM6 Maison Margiela works together with Salomon on a pair of unique Salomon Mules for the season. The two brands are no strangers to one another, having worked together in the past. This time, the two take a pair of the XT-4 shoes as the canvas and give it a new structure.
The trail-ready sneakers retain elements such as the chunky sole unit and breathable build throughout the upper. The quick lace system also remains even though the back side of the sneaker has been entirely removed to transform it into a slip-on. It joins the MM6 lookbook with three colorway options blending variations of black and silver combinations. It features branding on the side and the toe cap.
