The entire shoe is complete in a white foundation throughout the knit uppers and highlights a thick midsole. The uppers showcase large branding accents that read "MAISON MARGIELA" over the lateral sides in black to add some contrasting elements against the white knit construction. Notably, the [sock-like structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker) sits on top of a foundation sole unit that delivers flexible elements for added comfort. The [dirty scuffed-up design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-dirty-triple-white) travels through to the midsoles and outsoles as well to correlate to the overarching worn-in aesthetics. The Maison Margiela logo-printed sneakers are now available for purchase online at select stocklists including Farfetch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Worn-in Luxury:** Opportunities for creating new luxury products with a 'worn-in' aesthetic. - **Logo Accentuation:** Potential for highlighting brand logos as a statement design element. - **Sock-like Footwear:** Growing trend of footwear designs inspired by sock-like structures. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Fashion:** Innovations in creating unique and unconventional luxury products with a worn-in aesthetic. - **Footwear:** Emerging trends in designing footwear with sock-like structures and incorporating brand logos in unique ways. - **Fashion Accessories:** Development of fashion accessories that explore unconventional and distinct design elements, such as accentuating logos or incorporating aged aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Super-Flat Luxurious Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters.md) - [Distressed Canvas Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loved-to-death.md) - [Bold Collaborative Fashion Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters-collection.md) - [Stealthy Luxe Sneaker Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xalp-shoe.md) - [Trail-Ready Slip-On Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salomon-mules.md) - [Paint-Adorned Rugged Fashion Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-8eyelet-boot.md) - [Digital-First Luxury Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mmerch-1.md) - [Minimalist Sock-Like Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker.md) - [Collaborative Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin.md)
