Sukezane“Whether they’re good for snow or not, these boots just look stylish the moment you put them on.”

Maison Margiela’s signature “Replica” series is a masterclass. Modeled after a 1965 U.S. Army combat boot, they’re designed to handle rough terrain. Not only are they highly functional, but their hybrid lace-up and zipper design also makes them easy to put on and take off.

Sukezane“Wearing leather on a snowy day is cool, and having just the footwear stand out is excellent. Even when mixing different styles between clothing and shoes, it comes together naturally.”
