Maison Margiela x Reebok
Maison Margiela and Reebok release the Classic Leather Tabi
in white and black as part of their ongoing collaboration. Drawing on codes evolved
by creative director John Galliano, the sneaker expresses the characteristics of the French
fashion house through one of the sportswear brand’s most recognizable designs.
The new style of the collaboration – which debuted in early 2020 ¬– represents the most
distilled take on the codes of Maison Margiela and Reebok to date. Unifying innovation
with heritage, fashion meets functionality in a contemporary design with a timeless
appeal.
The Classic Leather Tabi splices two icons into one. Maison Margiela created the Tabi in 1988. With its recognizable split-toe construction – and the signature footprint it creates – it represents the deconstructive design philosophy key to the house. A formidable running shoe, the Classic Leather from 1983 has become a staple in the casual wardrobe and remains one of Reebok’s most respected and recognizable shoes.
For the collaboration, the Classic Leather was entirely rebuilt to accommodate the Tabi
split-toe. The style is created in nappa leather with an EVA sole. It is made available
in white & black. A tabi toe sock is offered to complement both shoes.
Maison Margiela x Reebok Classic Leather Tabi sneakers will be available February 26th at Crossover Online only.
