Maison Margiela Lace 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. 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. This iteration of the shoe forgoes the leather upper for a delicate lace that is subversive in its juxtaposition to the rest of the shoe.
