This week, the Buro Must-Have list shines the spotlight on the Tabi Ballerinas: A Cult Classic Reimagined.
Maison Margiela’s Tabi ballerinas are more than just a pair of shoes — they’re a conversation starter, a design rebellion, and a love letter to unconventional beauty. First introduced in 1988 by Martin Margiela in his debut collection, the Tabi split-toe silhouette drew inspiration from traditional 15th-century Japanese footwear. Since then, it’s become an emblem of the brand’s avant-garde spirit.
The ballerina version takes the icon into softer, more wearable territory, merging ballet grace with a quietly subversive edge. Minimal yet striking, they’re the kind of shoe that turns a simple outfit into a statement. Whether in classic leather or seasonal finishes, the Tabi ballerina is the kind of piece that doesn’t just finish a look, it defines it. That’s why we consider them a must-have: timeless, unexpected, and unapologetically bold.
