The Tabi Ballerina takes its design from shoes in the Maison Margiela archives. Crafted in soft nappa leather with a hand-crafted used treatment applied at the folds, base, and seams, each pair is manually worked to create an artisanal vintage effect. Featuring the signature Tabi split-toe, inspired by the traditional 15th-century Japanese sock of the same name—launched for the Maison's debut collection in 1989—this style captures the avant-garde and insubordinate spirit of Maison Margiela and exists as a heritage classic continually explored through each collection. Upper: 100% ovine leather Lining: 100% calf leather Inside: 100% calf leather Sole: 100% calf leather Made in Italy.
