MAISON MIHARA YASUHIRO
三原美晴 Blakey 系列
Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO turns the everyday sneaker into something quietly subversive, and the Blakey is its most recognisable expression. Built on the label's hand-sculpted original sole, each low-top wears a distorted, wavy midsole and textured foxing that reads as art rather than footwear. Canvas and leather uppers carry MMY embroidery and an offbeat, lived-in character, sitting comfortably alongside refined picks such as Women Maison Margiela Shoes. Discover the Blakey and the considered craftsmanship that defines avant-garde Japanese design at MARAIS.

The Story Behind Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO
Founded in 1996 by Japanese designer Yasuhiro Mihara, Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO grew from a self-taught fascination with shoemaking into one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary fashion. While studying textile design at Tokyo's Tama Art University, Mihara taught himself to construct footwear, and that hands-on, experimental spirit still runs through every collection. The label is celebrated for its avant-garde reworking of menswear and streetwear staples, and above all for unconventional sneakers built on rubber soles that the designer models by hand.
What Makes the Blakey Different
The Blakey is the house's signature low-top, and its appeal lies in deliberate imperfection. Each pair sits on an original sole sculpted from clay, giving the midsole a wavy, distorted profile and a textured foxing that no machine could replicate. Canvas, leather, python-printed and sputtering-paint variations carry MMY embroidery and a worn-in, artful character, so a single style feels closer to a wearable sculpture than a standard skate shoe. It is the kind of considered, collectable design that rewards a closer look.
Avant-Garde Sneakers in Good Company
The Blakey belongs to a wider world of luxury houses that treat footwear as a canvas, and MARAIS curates that world in one place. Lovers of deconstructed, conceptual design will recognise a kindred spirit in the iconic replica silhouette from Men's Maison Margiela Replica Sneakers, while the broader Maison Margiela for Men edit gathers tailoring and accessories cut from the same intellectual, quietly rebellious cloth. For a sculptural take on women's footwear, the Women Maison Margiela Shoes collection extends the same artisanal energy, making either an easy companion to the Blakey.
