Maison Margiela's tabi shoe was first shown in 1988, and today a new version debuted on the Spring 2020 couture runway—a sneaker made in collaboration with Reebok.
Maison Margiela’s tabi shoe was first shown in 1988, and has appeared on the brand’s runways as a pump, boot, ballet flat, mule, and as a sole taped to model’s feet with clear packing tape. Today a new kind of tabi debuted on: a sneaker. Made in collaboration with Reebok, the yellow unisex sneaker combines the classic tabi split toe with Reebok’s Instapump Fury sneaker from 1994.
What’s so important about a Margiela x Reebok sneaker? Consider this: The clunky style marks John Galliano’s first collaboration since joining Maison Margiela in 2014—and the first time the high priest of couture has collaborated with a mainstream brand. The sneaker was also shown as part of the brand’s couture collection, vaulting the shoe to a status reserved for Galliano’s bias-cut dresses , Stephen Jones’s headpieces, and Leon Dame’s slinky runway walk.
The shoe will arrive in Maison Margiela stores later this year in a variety of colors and in a flat and heeled style. The biggest issue, we’d bet, will be getting your hands on them—and then finding the appropriate socks.
