Margiela Copies Golden Goose Deluxe With Replica Tape Sneakers

Distressed clothing is relatively common, which makes sense, as slight wear gives an air of lived in appeal that speaks to establishment credentials.  Shoes are less often distressed, and trainers very rarely, as frankly, the idea of distressing sporting shoes seems a little odd, given they are designed to fulfil the requirement of being in good condition for the exercise use they are then put to.    however, Golden Goose Deluxe weren't disparaged by this, and managed to found an entire brand on distressed and destroyed sneakers.

Now Margiela have copied them.  Not slightly, completely, as in 2024 Golden Goose released a pair of trainers with Scotch Tape across them which managed to attract some media attention, with some articles in mainstream press being written about how ridiculous they look.

Margiela's version take their well known Replica sneaker, and distress them, as mentioned, in the exact same way as Golden Goose Deluxe.  Available now in black or white for £650.00 a pair.
