MM6 Maison Margiela has introduced its new “Sprinter” sneakers, a design that pays homage to one of Nike’s rarest creations: the 1972 “Moon Shoes.” Only 12 pairs of the original Nike Moon Shoes were made for the Olympics, making them a prized collector’s item. In 2019, one pair sold for an astonishing $437,000 USD at auction.
The Sprinter sneakers capture the sleek, retro running style of the Moon Shoes but with Maison Margiela’s signature luxury twist. Instead of Nike’s iconic swoosh, the Sprinters feature a minimalist design crafted from premium materials like drill fabric, hairy suede, and calfskin leather. Margiela’s signature stitch detailing appears on the heel tab, while the tongue showcases the brand’s numeric logo.
Available in three versatile colorways—Null, White, and Gray Ridge—the Sprinter offers a vintage aesthetic at a more approachable price of $820 USD compared to the six-figure value of the Moon Shoes.
Fashion enthusiasts can now grab the MM6 Maison Margiela Sprinter sneakers on the brand’s official website. Whether you’re a fan of vintage running shoes or high-end fashion, these sneakers deliver a perfect blend of nostalgia and luxury.
