They started circulating on social media only a few hours ago, arousing the curiosity of numerous fans and devotees of what is not just a shoe, but a real status symbol. We are talking about Maison Margiela’s Tabi, probably among the most iconic shoes ever, thanks to their unmistakable silhouette with a central split, introduced by designer Martin Margiela in the late 1980s and inspired by traditional Japanese footwear.
Back in the spotlight in recent seasons, Tabi shoes-especially in their ballet flat version-are once again stars of the fashion scene, worn by fashion victims and insiders all over the world. Credit is probably due to their strong recognition and timeless aesthetic, but also to their versatility and comfort, which have anointed them as the perfect balance between style and everyday wear.
Now Maison Margiela is ready to offer a new, delicate variation of its iconic pattern: the Confetti Print Tabi Toe Ballet Flats. Made of either glossy white leather or transparent PVC jelly shoe effect, these ballet flats feature a multicolored polka dot pattern with polka dots in soft, bright hues that add an instant sense of freshness and lightness.
A motif, that of polka dots, which has always been associated with a playful and often summery imagery, which in this case contributes to make an already legendary shoe even more exclusive, partly dampening its conceptual rigidity. An accessory that, in its uniqueness, proves to be extremely versatile and suitable to be worn in different looks, from day to evening.
