The Maison Margiela Dirty Treatment Security Sneaker is the latest offering from the high-fashion brand that aims to offer fashion-forward consumers with a pre-worn aesthetic to flaunt.
Priced at $885 and coming in two color options, the sneakers have been intentionally finished with a dirty look that is, according to the brand, meant to convey a "youthful, nostalgic effect." This comes as one of the several examples from the high-fashion house of new products that have been accented with a pre-worn look that could be interpreted as a comment on the staunch nature of the fashion industry.
The Maison Margiela Dirty Treatment Security Sneaker can be purchased directly from the brand now and actually maintain a somewhat 90s look for nostalgic consumers to appreciate.
