These boots are amazingly so comfy and yes, there are socks available for the style, sold separately. Maison Margiela is taking it's cult-fav Tabi 'split toe' boots to new heights of exclusivity with the debut of the Tabi Collector’s Series, launching
with the Broken Mirror Embroidery edition; a dazzling, ultra-limited
release of just 25 pairs worldwide. Each pair is crafted by 11 artisans and hand-embroidered with more
than 8,000 mirrored beads and sequins, creating the illusion of
shattered glass across the boot’s surface. The design nods to the “Broken
Mirror” motif first seen in Margiela’s Fall 2015 couture collection,
now revived under creative director Glenn Martens as a reflection of the
house’s commitment to craftsmanship and experimentation.
First introduced in 1988 by Martin Margiela, the split-toe Tabi shoes has become one of fashion’s most recognizable and
polarizing signatures. What began as a subversive runway statement inspired by
traditional Japanese footwear has evolved into a symbol of avant-garde
identity, endlessly reimagined in leather, canvas, denim, and now,
couture-level embroidery.
A short film, see below, made its debut with this release, directed by Yuri Ancarani, 'A Tabi Film' offers an intimate look at the meticulous craftsmanship behind Maison Margiela’s Tabi. The short traces the journey of a single pair, from concept to final stitch revealing an artisanal process entirely done by hand.
You may be able to catch a glimpse of these displayed at select Margiela boutiques worldwide. Other Tabi boot styles are priced at $1,190 & up, via Maison Margiela online and at stores worldwide.
