Paint-Splattered Split-Toe Boots

Maison Margiela Introduces a New Iteration of the Tabi Ankle Boot

Luxury fashion house Maison Margiela unveils its latest iteration of the iconic Tabi Ankle Boots. This time around, the brand drips paint down the silhouette. The exterior of the shoe is entirely crafted from soft linen materials and the inside is made up of 100% leather.

The upper is detailed with dripping white paint, which is a visual that has been seen in the house's history. There are more details such as the smaller white stitch at the collar area and that the split-toe design has a leather lining. The sole unit with the heel is made up of some stacked wood as the base foundation. The shoe is currently available at stockists including Machine-A.
