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.
