The Maison Margiela Puffer Sneakers are a protective and slightly peculiar footwear design from the Paris-based fashion house that will offer wearers an additional layer of warmth to enjoy during the cold weather months. The sneakers draw design inspiration from puffer jackets that are renowned the world over for their warm, sporty design that's perfect for wear in the wilderness or urban environment. The sneakers feature a jagged sole that will provide an enhanced grip on outdoor terrain covered in light snow or ice to make them a lightweight footwear design that's suitable for wear during inclement weather.
The Maison Margiela Puffer Sneakers are made in Italy and feature a drawstring closure that makes them easy to slide on or off, while also providing a snug fit.
