Luxury fashion house Maison Margiela introduces a new iteration of the Replica sneaker that simply cannot be missed. It is complete in bright blue patent leather materials for a shine and it covers the entirety of the silhouette. It even makes its way down to the midsole foundation to look as if the sneaker has been dipped into blue rubber.
The patent leather is a thin layer over top and will form natural creases over time throughout the surface. Additional details that make up the luxe sneaker include the flat-shaped black laces over the forefoot for a touch of contrast. It also has tonal blue stitching that can be seen on the heel and minimal branding details to round it all out.
