Continuing to deliver interesting iterations of its signature Tabi Boot, Maison Margiela recently crafted a new take inspired by the look of duct tape.

Coming in with an ankle-high cut, the shoe is crafted of a silver-tone textile riddled with creased detailing. At the front, is the iconic cleft square toe and a concealed tab-slot fastening on the inner side. Additional detailing comes in the form of Margiela’s white stitch branding at the heel collar and a supple leather lining. Finally, elevating the shoe is a matching cylindrical block heel measuring approximately 2.5” tall.

Priced at $1,440 USD, Maison Margiela’s Silver Metallic Tabi Boots are available now at SSENSE.

In case you missed it, Maison Margiela also immortalized its Tabi Boot with a keychain charm.
