We disassembled a pair of Marni Milan runway shoes priced at €690, sending samples for testing of the weight, weave, and even the solid content of the waterproof coating on the 12 oz washed canvas, 3 mm vegetable-tanned cowhide, and recycled nylon canvas. We then had the factory dye the shoes to match the yarn thickness at a 1:1 ratio.

For the purple Lobster, we went through 17 iterations to achieve the desired suede color difference on the toe. Similarly, we burned 23 versions of the formula for the "bone white" midsole of this Marni shoe until the yellowing index under UV light matched that of the same batch as the 2022 Milan limited edition. Dope sneakers offers high-quality Marni sneakers at affordable prices, providing a high-quality replica.
