The Classic Leather Tabi but make it spicy. Two icons collide once again as Maison Margiela and Reebok team up on more colorways of this best seller.
Although both originated in the 1980s, Margiela’s Tabi and Reebok’s Classic Leather cater to different clienteles. Here, however, the split-toe shoe and the one-time runner become one in a design that is meant for everyone, in a colorway that’s bolder than ever. The result is a striking reinterpretation of two of the most recognizable silhouettes in footwear.
The Tabi aesthetic isn’t for everyone, and we’ve got you’ve covered if you’re part of that camp. The Club C silhouette comes from Reebok’s 1985 tennis shoe, which has now been radicalized by Maison Margiela’s signature optical illusions.
In spite of its appearance, the sneaker is crafted from a single cut of flat leather. Maison Margiela’s trompe l’oeil technique (literally meaning “trick of the eye”) has been applied to give the impression of raised stitches, curves, and shadows across the surface.
