The Apollo Tabi boots by fashion label Abasi Rosborough make a return in two brand new colorway options for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. The silhouette made its original debut last year and the latest hues boast simplicity with a black and gum option and a cream and off-white option. The overall structure of the footwear draws inspiration from the classic Japanese tabi show, with a high ankle cut and a split that separates the big toe from the rest of the toes. It also blends in some design aesthetics of an American basketball shoe and draws influence from England through its elastic paneling representative of the Chelsea boots.
The latest Apollo Tabi boots are constructed from a premium blend of cotton canvas and suede atop of a sole made from natural rubber and are enclosed with zippers.
