The Maison Margiela Future high-top is one of the most iconic styles from the high-fashion brand, but the latest design from the brand for the Spring/Summer 2017 season sees it get destroyed.
The Maison Margiela Future sneaker has been mangled and shredded for the latest iteration that looks as though it were attacked viciously with a box cutter. Exposed padding, ragged leather and tears are just a few of the brutal accents placed on the high-fashion sneakers in order to make them look more like they're ready for the garbage than the catwalk.
The Maison Margiela Future high-top sneakers have been finished with staples that are placed in such a way to make them look like they are the only thing keeping the shoe together.
