This is a pair of black Maison Margiela sneakers. They are made from bovine leather which means they are durable and will last a long time. These sneakers have been worn plenty of times with minor color bleeding on the inner soles from my socks. They are a EU size 41 (US 8) but will fit nicely on a US 8.5 foot as they run large. Purchased from the Maison Margiela Online Store. #deadstock
