Luxury fashion house Maison Margiela introduces a new Mary Jane shoe for the season complete with the iconic Tabi toe design. The silhouette gets a split toe look and has a dual strap around the ankles to hold the foot in place. The shoes are made in Italy and it uses soft leather in a black hue throughout the entire upper.
The insoles are done in beige materials to give it an elegant touch. The high quality leather is met with silver tonal buckles that are wrapped by the aforementioned ankle and arch straps. The heel area sits slightly higher with the slight stacked component by the back of the shoe to make it feel a little more formal in design.
