For those who have everything: Paint Splatter Sneakers

In the world of fashion, “there’s good weird and there’s bad weird.” Designer Martin Margiela is “generally agreed to be great weird.” Some may scoff at the exorbitant price of his new Paint Splatter Sneakers, considering that they look like low-tops previously worn by a sloppy jungle-gym painter. But “people who spend a lot of time thinking about clothes, looking at clothes, and wanting to look different” find such studied oddness “über-chic.” One example: rapper Kanye West, who gave Margiela a shout-out in a hit song last year.
