After dropping its fairly apt surgical adaptation of the classic slip-on mule last week, Maison Margiela now introduces a transparent iteration of its quintessential Tabi shoe.

A staple of the brand since its first show over 30 years ago, the split-toe look is synonymous with the Maison, having been reworked countless times since. A browse through the Margiela webstore alone draws up a surfeit of Tabi styles, while a recent collaboration with Reebok gave the look an entirely new audience.

Now though, for the first time, the brand has used a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) material to craft its all-new fully transparent Tabi lace-ups. Sat on a wide black sole with a comfortable leather footbed, Margiela’s latest release is completed with two eyelets on the medial side of each shoe for added breathability.

Maison Margiela’s Transparent Tabi Lace-Ups are available now from Voo Store, retailing at €765 (approximately $930 USD).

In other news, Riccardo Tisci has today presented his first menswear-only offering for Burberry.
