MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA Black Leather Tabi Boots with Plexiglass Heel – SS 2012, EU 37

Crafted in exceptionally soft black leather, these Tabi boots feature one of the house’s most distinctive interpretations of its iconic split-toe silhouette: a sculptural transparent plexiglass heel.

The contrast between the traditional Tabi construction and the oversized cylindrical heel reflects Maison Martin Margiela’s fascination with transformation, illusion, and unexpected proportions.

Presented as part of the Spring/Summer 2012 collection, the design belongs to a season remembered for its playful exploration of materials, illusion, and transformation.
