The Alexander McQueen 'Tread Slick' sneaker is one of the latest footwear styles from the high-end fashion brand that highlights an exaggerated aesthetic that's sure to satisfy those seeking out a retro style.
The sneakers are characterized by their oversized rubber soles that call to mind large shoe styles from the 90s and help to transform the otherwise ordinary footwear into a statement piece. This design also works to carve out a new style that is one part sneaker and one part boot.
The Alexander McQueen 'Tread Slick' sneaker comes in both high and low-top styles, and put a strong focus on an exaggerated sole. This also works to make the shoes suited for wear in inclement weather thanks to their inherently rugged design.
