Authentic Maison Margiela Tabi Womens's Low-top Canvas Sneakers

The Maison Margiela Tabi low-top canvas sneakers are an avant-garde take on the classic casual tennis shoe, most famously defined by the iconic split-toe silhouette. First introduced by designer Martin Margiela in his debut 1989 collection, the Tabi design is by traditional 15th-century Japanese split-toe socks. The canvas sneaker variants offer a more casual, flexible, and everyday wearable entry point into the brand's cult-favorite Tabi line compared to their structured leather boots. Core Design Features Upper Material: Crafted from durable 100% cotton canvas, frequently detailed with high-contrast minimalist topstitching. The Tabi Split Toe: A distinctive divided front toe that isolates the big toe, sitting atop a flexible, textured, or ribbed rubber sole. Brand Signatures: Features the iconic Maison Margiela numerical logo printed directly on the tongue (with the number 22 circled to denote the footwear line) and the single white stitch signature on the outer heel. Interior Lining: Equipped with a premium goat leather insole for breathability and structural comfort over long wear. General Sizing: Most luxury retailers and reviewers note that they fit true to size to slightly large. If you are typically between sizes, it is recommended to size down a half-size (e.g., an IT/EU 38 generally converts to a US Women's 7.5 or 8). Socks: They require dedicated split-toe Tabi socks to be worn comfortably (1 pair included). Does not ship in the original shoebox.
