Molten Metal Shoes

The Maison Martin Margiela Sci-Fi Sneaker is Out of This World

The Maison Martin Margiela Sci-Fi Sneaker is simply out of this world. Especially since it has been recently re-released in a new Metallic edition. It happens to look like something a hipster astronaut would rock. The molten metal material gives it a dynamic look that seems ready to melt right off the wearer's feet.

A staple silhouette in this fashion label's arsonel, the Maison Martin Margiela Sci-Fi Sneaker Metallic edition is definitely one of the more statement-making shoe models out there. Although eccentric, it is strangely classy. The shiny surface is devoid of any unnecessary details, allowing it to be appreciated for exactly what it is. The use of a gum outsole and interior white leather lining also acts to ground the shoe even more.
