Woven Basketweave German Army Trainers
Maison Martin Margiela Basketweave Gats. The German Army Trainer, originally designed by the Dassler Brothers and reshaped by the German Army which standardized the Bundeswehr GAT, fell into the "replica" line of Margiela during the mid 00's and went through many iterations. Every season Margiela takes the sneaker and "does" something to it; Inverts the colour scheme, makes it out canvas, paints it, makes it out of different shapes of plastic, replaces upper out of used recycled paper, rubberizes it, burns it, papier-mâché mummifies it, glazes it, dips in paint, thrashes it, turns it inside out, makes it out of cork, makes it out of rhinestones, replaces upper with 3m, invert the tongue and remove eyelets so its laceless, changes the texture to faux snakeskin, have the entire Margiela team sign the shoe, provides you with a pen and replaces upper to be a draw-friendly material so you can draw on your gats and so on. For this iteration the front upper portion is made entirely out of a woven basketweave. Its a breathable material better for hotter days and is more flexible than leather, but not water resistant. The basketweave meticulously imitates the original leather design which allows the leather-to-basketweave transition to be masterfully executed. 9/10 condition. Barely any heel drag. Size 44.$226 -
SAMPLE FW10 Zipper Down Coat w/ Padding
FW 2010 Maison Margiela Sample Unnamed Coat that never hit production lines. Features a zipper line that starts from the bottom of the coat and ends at the wrists of the arms. 4 Pockets, including the padded and zipped chest pockets. Stylized fabric that runs along the zipper line that nearly creates a heavy mantle-like silhouette around the back and neck region. Thick poly padded inner with two inner pockets. Incredibly constructed and designed coat that sadly never made it to its final form. The zipper under the placket is actually not functional but CAN be made functional if the right hardware is installed. Instead, this coat is shut closed by one button up near the collar. Complex and deep mauve colour, easily integratabtle to darker wardrobes without being too ostentatious or loud. 9/10 condition. Size 48$965 -
NWT Hand Painted “Cracked” Jeans
Maison Margiela 2015 Hand Painted Jeans from line "10" - The Men's Collection. One of Maison Margiela's most iconic pieces is the Hand-painted Jean. Usually in white or black paint, the jeans are hand object coated with paint from head to toe, ignoring hardware or seams. Various signature jeans are made throughout Margiela's upbringing consisting of different paint composition and properties.. The paint composition comes in various forms, sometimes textured, thin and flat or hard and distressed. The more complex and iconic hand painted jeans are from the artisanal line of "0" and "0 10" from the late 90's and early 00's. The H&M + Margiela collaboration played an homage to the original Hand Painted Jean. Here we have hand painted jeans with what looks like a low resin paint with a lack of paint thinner resulting in a high viscosity finish. This paint composition results in intense cracking and peeling, chipping away and forming cracks molding around the wearer's pulls and creases. As time passes, the jeans will mold to the user, uniquely aged by him/her, similar to how the process of raw denim fades are formed. New with tags. Size 50 best for a 32-33.$202
