If you know, you know – and if you don’t, then Kylie Jenner takes many of her fans to school. The accomplished tycoon and mother of two was recently spotted wearing a casual baby T-shirt and black pants set that might not have stood out on anyone else. But being fashionistas that they are, we couldn’t help but focus on her understated yet legendary footwear choice: the iconic Maison Margiela Tabi shoe.
The brand’s first collection, launched in 1988, featured an unusual split-toe design that harked back to centuries-old Japanese designs thought to promote agility and mobility, whether in sandals or boots. Today, the minimalist style is more of a statement shoe than a practical piece, worn by fashion darlings like Chloë Sevigny on the streets of New York and trendy shoe aficionados like Bad Bunny on the red carpet at this year’s Met Gala. This shoe.
Even as Margiela’s original Tabi style enters its fourth decade, this eye-catching shoe remains as fresh and stylish as ever. Keep scrolling to shop Kylie Jenner’s Mary Jane version of the shoe, plus eight more Tabi designs worn by fashionistas around the world.
