My dream for 20 years...

Distinctive shoes that anyone who sees them will instantly recognize.



These are low heel boots from Martin Margiela's ``TABI'' series.
Yes, tabi. Those tabi socks. Exactly Tabi.

The first time I saw it was in a magazine when I was a teenager.
I was thinking, "What's with those silly shoes?"
Well, most designer brand items are generally difficult to understand.
But after I became obsessed with fashion, I realized how wonderful Margiela was,
I'm starting to realize how interesting the items are.

I started going to Margiela stores several times when I was in my 20s.
I don't have much money, so the only thing I can buy is an AIDS T-shirt.
Sometimes I would finally buy long-sleeved transfer T-shirts, but
When it comes to big things, it's hard to handle.
At best, German trainer sneakers are the limit.

Because of that,
These unique TABI boots were my dream item when I was younger.
But when it came time to buy it,
I had to pass on the heeled boots I wanted the most.
The design is similar to the Backlash boots I own,
Most people who have TABI buy heeled boots, so
If I was going to buy it anyway, I'd go for low heel boots because it's something interesting.

But if you ask someone who doesn't know, they're "weird shoes" (lol)
Well, this is self-satisfaction,
It's easy to wear and there are no heels, so it's surprisingly comfortable.
But since it has a leather sole, it doesn't have the grip of real tabi!

This series of boots has probably been a staple for nearly 30 years.
I feel a deep sense of emotion when I think that the origin of this standard item is Japanese clothing.
Furthermore, Margiela's current designer is John Galliano, who I love.
For that reason, I really like it.

The price was not cheap, but
You'll be more satisfied if you only buy things you really like.
You won't have to buy any unnecessary things.
I'll be wearing these shoes exclusively for a while, but
Since it's shaped like this, I need to get socks as well!
Let's go to Uniqlo right away.
