A bold hybrid sneaker-sandal from Maison Margiela, reinterpreting the iconic Tabi split-toe silhouette in a modern skate-inspired platform design. The upper combines olive green nubuck or suede with perforated mesh panels and distinctive purple piping outlining the cutout vents—echoing Margiela’s deconstructed aesthetic. The standout feature is the oversized, hand-knotted chevron-patterned laces in black-and-cream wool blend, replacing traditional eyelets for a sculptural, artisanal effect. A thick black rubber cupsole with treaded outsole ensures durability and street-ready grip, while the padded collar and cushioned insole offer everyday comfort. The shoe subtly integrates Margiela’s signature four-stitch tab at the heel (partially visible), confirming authenticity. Ideal for avant-garde streetwear enthusiasts, this piece bridges high fashion and functional footwear—perfect for urban exploration, gallery visits, or creative industry settings. Wear with cropped trousers, wide-leg jeans, or layered socks for maximum impact. Seasonally versatile for spring through fall, it thrives in transitional weather where style demands both coverage and breathability.
