Maison Margiela Suede Replica Sneakers

Maison Margiela’s Replica sneakers are evocatively named, but you may be wondering what exactly they’re a replica of. They’re an interpretation of the German Army Trainer; known as gat for short, the style is a staple of the sneaker sphere, notable for its gum rubber sole. Martin Margiela came across a pair in the ‘90s and was instantly taken with their authenticity, and, just like that, a new icon was born.
