Maison Margiela has reimagined yet another Reebok shoe, but this time there’s no split toe. Instead, the duo has debuted a laceless slip-on with a beefy sole, meant to be worn both at home and while on the go. Dubbed the Zig CR, the shoe takes inspiration from Reebok’s 1997 DMX sneaker as well as from the vulcanized sports shoes worn throughout the nineteenth century (and highlighted in Margiela’s Spring/Summer 2022 Co-Ed collection).
Under the creative direction of John Galliano, Maison Margiela has deconstructed Reebok’s Club C sneakers, introduced multiple split-toe tabi looks, and dropped the Zig 3D Storm “Memory Of” collection. Each collaboration has left Reebok’s classic styles nearly unrecognizable — and perhaps subsequently, has seen insatiable demand levels. The Zig CR, Margiela’s first sandal with Reebok, will likely be considered just as covetable despite its end-of-summer arrival.
