Ripple Sole Floral Canvas Slip Ons
Dries Van Noten Floral Slip Ons. DVN's took a slightly modified rendition of a classic mens item, adding a little flair and eccentricity, slimming the profile, resulting in a clean, suave piece of footwear. In recent seasons DVN has had a rather small obsession with florals, prints, beads and extravagant embroideries. Gator sole, curved toe, canvas twill upper and fully leather lined. Back graphic is different per shoe but pairs nicely. 8/10 condition, there are some loose threads along the binding. Creases. Size 42 but fits somewhere between a US9.5-10.$235 -
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 -
