Fashion house Maison Margiela debuted a first look at its Security Sneakers during Paris Fashion Week Men's as a part of its Fall/Winter 2018 menswear range. The Security sneakers boast an all-black colorway and serve as the latest dark tonal streetwear staple. The shoes draw a strong inspiration from security personnel and are crafted in Italy. It sports a low-top cut around the ankles and its uppers are constructed from black paneling suede materials and it all rests on top of a chunky rubber sole.
Additional details are its rounded toe, tonal lace-up system, and padded collar. Branding details are seen on the padded tongue in a blended in dark hue and a contrasting white print on the right heel.
