MAISON MARGIELA
Men's Maison Margiela Tabis
Few silhouettes are as instantly recognisable as the Maison Margiela Tabi. First unveiled by Martin Margiela in 1988 and inspired by the traditional Japanese split-toe sock, the cloven-hoof design has become one of fashion's most quietly radical signatures. Our men's edit gathers the Tabi in its boldest forms, from the H80 ankle boot to leather lace-ups, each pair carrying the unmistakable divided toe and refined construction the house from Maison Margiela for men is celebrated for. Shop the men's Tabi collection at MARAIS and step into a true icon.

The Story Behind the Maison Margiela Tabi
The Tabi is the boldest expression of Maison Margiela's deconstructionist spirit. Founded by Belgian designer Martin Margiela, the house debuted the split-toe silhouette at its very first runway show in 1988, where models left a trail of cloven footprints across a white canvas runway. Drawn from the traditional Japanese tabi, a divided-toe sock dating back centuries, the design was so radical that few craftsmen would produce it at first. More than thirty years on, it has returned in nearly every collection, evolving across leathers, finishes and forms while remaining unmistakably its own.

MARAIS presents the men's Tabi in its most coveted forms, from the H80 ankle boot to refined lace-ups and slip-ons. Each pair sits within the wider world of Maison Margiela for men, the house's full ready-to-wear and footwear offering, where avant-garde tailoring meets considered, wearable design. The Tabi rewards the collector who values quiet subversion over obvious logos.
Styling the Split-Toe Silhouette
The Tabi is a conversation piece that grounds an outfit rather than overwhelms it. Worn with cropped tailored trousers or relaxed denim, the divided toe adds an architectural edge to an otherwise classic look. For those drawn to the same spirit of Japanese craftsmanship and inventive design, the deconstructed footwear of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO for men makes a natural companion within a considered wardrobe.

Beyond the boot, the split-toe has been reimagined as a sneaker, blending the house's signature toe with everyday ease. Discover the worn-in, lived-in character of the men's Maison Margiela Replica sneakers for a more relaxed take on the label's design language.
