The Reebok Classic Leather shoe is now available in a unique style that conveys the perspective of Maison Margiela and borrows elements from the brand's signature split-toed Tabi shoe. The collaborative style is available in black and white and it shares signature branding on the tongue tag and footbed. As the Maison Margiela x Reebok Classic Leather Tabi retails for a few hundred dollars, sneaker collectors will appreciate getting a designer take on a classic Reebok style.
To go along with the split-toed sneakers, the collaboration includes matching split-toed socks, so that the styles can be worn in a comfortable fashion. Dropping soon, the sneakers offer a subtle twist on a beloved silhouette that might not even be distinguishable at a distance.
