The collaboration between Maison Margiela and Reebok brings forth the Maison Margiela x Reebok Classic Leather 'Black', a reimagination of the iconic silhouette through the lens of the French luxury house's 'Memory Of' concept. In this rendition, the leather upper is given a sleek one-tone coating, while various traditional elements such as the eyestay, side stripes, heel overlay, and back tab are purposefully removed. However, the essence of these familiar features is perceptibly retained through the remnants left behind: frayed threads, exposed felt liners, tattered fragments, and leftover punch-holes that once held stitching. Adding to this distinctive design, the tongue showcases a half-slashed woven Reebok tag, unveiling a Margiela label hidden beneath. Completing the sneaker's aesthetic, it is grounded on a matching black EVA midsole and a resilient rubber outsole.
