Isabel Marant's Bekett sneaker just went big on big

Wedge sneaker truthers, please rise. Isabel Marant's Bekett sneaker is back in a big way. The Bekett Reedition is an ode to the Bekett sneaker that started the wedge sneaker wave back in 2011.

To celebrate the house's standard-setting sneaker, Marant is releasing the Bekett Reedition in the three original colorways that started it all: Red/Navy, Navy/Ecru, and Burgunday/Black.

More than just a sneaker trend, Isabel Marant's Bekket wedges defined an era of boho-Americana fashion adopted by all of the, as A$AP Rocky put it, Fashion Killa's of the time, including his sartorial (and literal) paramour, Rihanna, as well as Beyoncé, and most recently, Blue Ivy Carter.

In fact, she actually wore the same pair her mom did years prior. If that's not generational drip, then what is?

If the Bey x Blue co-sign wasn't enough of a hint, Gen Z has taken just as strong of a liking to Isabel Marant's lifted suede sneakers as the millennials that made it popular in the first place. After years of the OG sneaker holding things down, the Parisian label is ready to unleash the Bekett 2.0, AKA the Bekett Reedition.

There's a lot to be said about nostalgia's place in modern fashion, but for its part, Isabel Marant has kept the wedge sneaker's legacy alive without clogging the scene with incessant nods to the past.

In 2021, Isabel Marant released the Balskee sneaker, a chunkier retooling of the shoe that started it all, to celebrate ten years of the iconic Bekett sneaker. Isabel Marant's famed wedges might be a cult classic, but the brand isn't afraid to freak its signature designs when need be.

To this point, the brand has gotten pretty experimental with its wedged pursuits, as seen with its lifted Converse collab that released a few years ago, in 2024. But it's not just sneakers getting this turnt up treatment. In collaboration with Havaianas, Isabel Marant set the summer ablaze with the studded Maxi Puffed flip-flop. Yes, Marant does flats too.

Despite being on-trend for most of its existence, Isabel Marant's wedge sneaker is forever immortalized in the classic sneaker hall of fame and remains a consistent blueprint for the lifted-up sneakers we see today.
