The leather sneaker from the Kanye West and [Katy Perry-approved avant-garde fashion label](http://time.com/4762550/met-gala-katy-perry-red-dress/ "undefined") features heavy distressing and a deconstructed design — which is to say, that the finished product looks somewhat like a pair of sneaker that’s been fed to ravenous hounds, left in the rain, and then dropped in a sandblaster for good measure. If this aesthetic sounds appealing, take comfort in knowing that the sneakers can be yours for a hot $1,425, the price it’s [retailing for at department stores like Neiman Marcus](http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Maison-Margiela-Future-Destroyed-High-Top-Sneaker-White-Yellow/prod192370016/p.prod "undefined"). Apparently, looking fashionably distressed doesn’t come cheap. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4768796/maison-margiela-destroyed-sneakers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4768796/maison-margiela-destroyed-sneakers/"},"headline":"These 'Destroyed' Designer Sneakers Cost $1,425 if That Sounds Appealing","datePublished":"2017-05-05T19:38:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:23.277Z","description":"Maison Margiela just debuted a high-end, distressed sneaker","url":"https://time.com/4768796/maison-margiela-destroyed-sneakers/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Bizarre","fashion"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c1f4f73f9e33c57/6988cc2686f68e52fb6e4938/maison-margiela-destroyed-sneakers.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c1f4f73f9e33c57/6988cc2686f68e52fb6e4938/maison-margiela-destroyed-sneakers.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Maison-Margiela-destroyed-sneakers","caption":"","creditText":"(Credit: Neiman Marcus)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4768796/maison-margiela-destroyed-sneakers/","name":"These 'Destroyed' Designer Sneakers Cost $1,425 if That Sounds Appealing"}}]}] ```
