Super-Flat Luxurious Sneakers

Maison Margiela Presents Its New Sprinters Low-Top Shoes

— December 30, 2024 — Fashion
Luxury fashion house Maison Margiela has presented its new Sprinters shoe, which is a low-profile model that is designed with inspiration from retro running models. At a glance, they look similar to the Moon shoe by Nike but the Sprinters are made from premium materials including hairy suede and calfskin.

The silhouette is then detailed with a contrasting touch in the form of a patchwork attached to the side to pop out against the base foundation. The shoes have a super flat button and it is all secured with a traditional lacing system over the forefoot. Overall, it has a neutral color palette as it fuses hues of beige, black, and white for a versatile look.
