If you know, you know—if not, then Kylie Jenner just took many of her fans to school. The multihyphenate mogul and mother of two was recently spotted in a casual baby T-shirt and black pants outfit, which, if worn by anyone else, probably wouldn't turn heads. But as fashion people, we couldn't help but hone in on her low-key but legendary choice of footwear: the iconic Maison Margiela Tabi shoes.
The unusual split-toe feature, presented in the label's inaugural collection in 1988, harkens back to a centuries-old Japanese design that was thought to promote agility and mobility, both in sandal and boot form. Today, the simple style is more of a statement shoe than a practical item, worn by fashion darlings like Chloë Sevigny on the streets of NYC to newer devotees like Bad Bunny on the red carpet at this year's Met Gala.
Even though Margiela's original Tabi style is approaching its fourth decade, the eye-catching footwear is as fresh and fashion-forward as ever. Keep scrolling to shop Kylie Jenner's Mary-Jane version of the shoes, plus eight more Tabi designs that style-savvy people around the globe wear.
