Split-Toe Sporty Sneakers

Maison Margiela and Reebok Launch the Classic Leather Tabi Sneakers

— January 14, 2021 — Fashion
Maison Margiela and Reebok recently announce the launch of the Classic Leather Tabi shoes that is officially set to release on January 30th. The ongoing collaboration brings recognizable designs that are true to both contributing efforts. The aesthetics of the shoe bring a nostalgic energy, bridging the gap between fashion and function in a contemporary manner.

The Classic Leather Tabi shoe splits the language, showcasing the iconic split-toe construction that Maison Margiela is recognized for since 1988. The shoe is also accented with deconstructed detailing to further represent the house's design philosophy. As a nod to the sportswear label, the Classic Leather silhouette dates as far back as 1983 and serves as the foundational structure of the collaborative shoe. This collaboration spotlighted the Tabi toe, constructing the shoe to accommodate the iconic accent.
