These metallic high-tops were designed for people who are brave enough to wear shoes that reflect objects around them.
The shoes were designed by Maison Margiela and are titled the 'Future Ankle Strap,' largely because of their futuristic design. While the lower part of the shoe lacks any texture, the strap has a honeycomb pattern -- but both parts of the shoes are metallic. The futuristic shoes come in both a metallic gray as well as a bronze color and while they look like upscale sneakers, their price of $1,180 may still come as a shock to some.
These metallic high-tops are perfect for people who are willing to pay extra for shoes that truly stand out in a crowd.
