Maison Margiela Reveals New Chunky Sneaker for Fall/Winter 2018

And they seem to have taken some inspiration from 80s adidas.

Mason Margiela showcased their newest sneaker offering on the runway at Paris Fashion Week, and it appears to be their newest chunky silhouette, this time in both distressed and holographic models.

The French luxury fashion house appears to have drawn some inspiration from an adidas model released back in 1986, the Forum. Adapting the hi-top silhouette and the white and blue colourway, Margiela has put a spin on the classic and changed up the sole, and removed parts of the upper revealing exposed foam, whilst keeping the main themes of the classic 80’s sneaker.

I just can’t stop wearing high tops. Here #omft is the beautiful adidas Forum OG Hi Retro in White/ Colegiate Blue from 2014. The OG from 1984 of this colorway beat the 400 Euro mark this year on eBay easily. #todayskicks #womft #dailykicks #trueoriginals #adidasoriginals #basketball #adidasforumhi #adidas_gallery #adidas_de #teamtrefoil #hskicks #complexsneakers #complexkicks #walklikeus #therealblacklist #showmeyourstripes #igsneakergame #sneakershouts #igsneakers #igkicks #kickstagram #instakicks #soleciety #sneakerfiles #sneakerfiend #sneakersmag #dashape #crookedtongues #turnschuh38

Available in both hi and low-top versions, and in a holographic colour-way also, you can expect the “chunky” sneaker to be a running theme in Margiela’s upcoming releases and will be a real front-runner in the evergrowing trend.
