In scratched waxy leather, the loafer shoes feature a chunky cleated sole and the Tabi split-toe, inspired by the traditional 15th century Japanese sock bearing the same name – launched for the Maison's debut collection in 1989. It captures the avant-garde and insubordinate spirit of the Maison and exists as a heritage classic, continually explored through each collection. Maison Margiela's signature stitch appears at the back; the opposite of a label.
