The Martin Margiela Replica Sneaker was inspired by the classic 1970s rubber sole Austrian sneaker. Made in Italy, from soft calf leather, the sneaker features a paper application made with real paper that gives the clean and simple shoe a shabby-chic feel.
Martin Margiela is no stranger to distressed sneakers, and this addition to the footwear collection complements his previous paint-splattered shoes.
