Although a Reebok silhouette, fans of Maison Margiela are titillated by the slew of if-you-know-you-know references that have been infused into this obscure creation. First up, we’ve got the Tabi toe which, despite not originating with Margiela, has become a signature that can be seen across many of his in-line footwear. From what we can tell, the Classic Leather has been blessed with an all-black base, however paint has been cascaded over the whole model. This is yet another classic move by Margiela, which has seen them use a technique called ‘Bianchetto’ – meaning the paint chips away with wear. Look familiar? That’s because it’s been used many times by the luxury house, and most famously on their Converse colab.
