Upon last years opening of The Simpson’s inaugural jump to the silver screen, Chanel lead-man Karl Lagerfeld was among the group of fashion designers accompanying the Simpsons in cartoon form. Fast forward to this year, the legendary designer has returned in a new form as one of the radio DJs for the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto IV. While various musical genres will be represented, Lagerfeld’s own love of electronica and dance and personal commentary will highlight his role in the popular video game series.

Here we present to you Martin Margiela’s 2008 S/S Tennis shoes. The ultra-discreet, Belgian designer is often said to be inspired by the designs of Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons, with oversized proportions and unfinished edges. Although the style of these tennis shoes have been consistent in Margiela’s collections, the beige and navy colorways give it a brand new feel. These shoes will definitely add a more classic look to any outfit. Now available at Oki-ni.
