A "reproduction of found garments of varying sources and periods" is how Maison Margiela describes its 'Replica' line - a collection released every year since 1994 inspired by the timelessness of design classics. These sneakers are based on '70s athletic styles that were worn by the German Army for training sessions and have been crafted in Italy from a combination of white leather and grey suede. The tan rubber soles imbue them with authenticity.
