Acne Studios 1981M Heavily Distressed Raw Edge Denim Shorts — Mid Blue
Swedish minimalism meets maximum destruction — the Acne Studios 1981M Heavily Distressed Raw Edge Denim Shorts in mid blue bring the brand's signature deconstructed denim aesthetic to a shorts silhouette. Set against a mid blue washed denim base with heavy vintage fading and tonal paint-splash marks across the front and back, the front panel features large-scale, heavily distressed openings — the central front panel is broken down into raw, frayed sections with exposed original denim selvedge edges hanging free, creating a dramatic, sculptural destruction effect that mirrors the 1981M long jean construction. The raw edges are intentional and structural — a defining design element, not wear. The back features two rear patch pockets with the Acne Studios branded leather patch at the back waistband. A wide-leg, relaxed silhouette with a mid-rise waist and belt loops.
