As though the fashion industry hasn't put us through enough in 2017, Maison Margiela is selling "destroyed" sneakers for $1,425.

The sneakers -- for sale at Neiman Marcus -- take the distressed look to its furthest possible point, with torn pieces of leather that appear stapled to the body of the shoe. Chunks of the sneaker's exterior are missing, the tongue's been slashed to reveal its interior stuffing and any remaining leather is scuffed beyond repair.

And it can all be yours for the price of May's rent and then some. Alternatively: Destroy old high tops relegated to back of closet, put on feet, head out door.
