//14.05.26// THE TABI CLAW
First unveiled in Maison Margiela's Artisanal 2025 collection, this daring reimagination of the iconic Tabi split-toe takes the house's most recognizable silhouette and pushes it into entirely new territory. The claw-shaped extension feels sculptural, almost surreal—available as both a long boot and a pump, each set on a transparent plexi heel that balances boldness with unexpected lightness.
The Tabi has been a Margiela signature since 1988, inspired by traditional Japanese footwear and rooted in the brand's commitment to challenging convention. But the Tabi Claw isn't about nostalgia—it's about evolution. It honors the past while embracing radical reinvention, something Glenn Martens has continued to champion since joining the house.

//14.05.26// THE ARCHIVAL FUTURE SNEAKER
Maison Margiela has reintroduced the Future Sneaker, a sleek icon first presented in the Spring-Summer 2011 collection. This relaunch brings back a design that embodies everything the house stands for: anonymity, restraint, and precision.
What sets the Future Sneaker apart is its seamless construction—minimal branding, clean lines, and an almost architectural approach to footwear. It's understated in the best way, letting form and craftsmanship speak louder than logos ever could. In a world of overcomplicated sneaker design, the Future feels refreshingly pure.
To mark the relaunch, Glenn Martens presented a new interpretation of the sneaker during the SS26 Co-Ed show—a nod to the house's ability to honor its archive while continuously evolving. The Future Sneaker isn't chasing trends. It's setting its own pace.
