Luxury fashion house Maison Margiela continues to grab attention with its latest offering - the Laser-Cut shoe is designed in almost a two-dimensional look for the season. The flat silhouette is a slipped-on shoe that is made using laser-cut Bovine leather materials in a neutral tan colorway.
Once wearers slip on the show, it unveils a honeycomb-like pattern that is cut around the rounded toe section for a breathable feel this season. The cuts run down the mid-panel area of the silhouette. Branding details can be found stamped on the leather vamp to the single stitch of the heel section of the slip-on. Rounding out the design is the looped stitching that brings together the leather sole unit and the upper together.
