MAISON MARGIELA

Leather-Suede 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, the style is a staple of the sneaker sphere, notable for its gum rubber sole and leather and suede upper. Martin Margiela came across the design in the ‘90s and was instantly taken with its authenticity and, just like that, a new icon was born.
