I'm not someone who keeps several pairs of sneakers in their closet for every occasion . Honestly, I'd rather spend money on vinyl than shoes. So much so that my wife, who can't stand to see me wear worn-out or holey shoes, forces me to buy new ones ... That's what I call love unto death.

I feel like the new Maison Margiela sneakers were made specifically for people like me. Why? Because they look worn out from the start.

Founded in 1988, the Parisian fashion house Maison Margiela returns with a new collection with the telling title "Loved to Death".

All the designs have been aged and have a worn-in look, which is meant to reflect the theme of aging. Perfect for All Souls' Day, right?

The collection features cracked leather and hand-finished details . You'll find distressed sweaters, distressed leather shoes, and handbags. Furthermore, a special edition 5AC bag appeared in an advertising campaign featuring Miley Cyrus .

My heart skipped a beat at the sight of these new, yet worn sneakers. You have to see them.

Made in Italy from cotton, goatskin and rubber, these sneakers definitely have a rock 'n' roll spirit .

The sneakers show numerous signs of wear, holes, and exposed seams, as well as effectively aged rubber toes.

" A symbol of impermanence and identity, these Love to Death sneakers are crafted from layered canvas, cut and frayed to reveal signs of wear. The design disrupts classic construction with exposed stitching, frayed edges, and a handcrafted effect visible on every panel. It's a tactile manifestation of memory in motion," the brand's website states.

The sneakers are available in two colorways: classic black and red-brown. I fell in love! But while it seemed like these worn-out shoes should be sold at a discount, the price can be surprising. A pair costs 820 euros, or almost 3,500 złoty. Well, good style comes at a price!
