Velvet pieces like jackets and vests give off a certain distinguished dressy-ness that never goes out of style. It is symbolic with luxury, refinement and excess - qualities that again, never go out of style. So I was pretty stoked when I found this velvet pair of sneakers.
The outside of this distinct pair is completely velvet-ized. Even the laces are velvet. I am a sucker for detail and velvet laces take the care. The design of this pair is simple but yet so arresting - thanks to the lush shade of blue. A color that will look kick-ass with denim and tailoring.
The detail does't just stop there. Maison Margiela's trademark is shrunk to a sliver of a single white thread on the back of the shoe. It's the kind of detail that only you and those who look closely will know - intimate and subtle. I am so sold!
