The Tabi is Maison Margiela’s signature split-toe shoe, first debuted in 1988. Inspired by the traditional 15th century Japanese sock bearing the same name, it has been continually reinterpreted across collections.
For Martin Margiela’s first-ever show, he transformed the traditionally flat shoe into a heeled boot and dipped the soles in red paint, allowing the boots to leave split-toed footprints as models walked the white runway.
Since its creation, the Tabi has been reimagined in multiple forms and materials, a canvas for the house’s innovation, continually evolving with each season’s inspirations.
