Maison Margiela 2022 Silver Cracked Metallic Leather Tabi Ankle Boots EU 38

An instantly recognizable expression of Maison Margiela's avant-garde vocabulary, these striking silver Tabi ankle boots reinterpret one of the house's most important signatures in highly reflective cracked metallic leather.

Introduced in this iteration in 2022, the boots are style S58WU0260 P5016 T9002, commonly identified as the Cracked Metallic Silver Tabi Ankle Heel Boot. The dramatic silver finish has an intentionally fractured, almost foil-like “broken mirror” appearance that creates variations in texture and reflection across the leather. This distressed surface treatment is an intentional element of the design rather than conventional wear. The exact style was originally reported with a retail price of approximately $1,290.

The silhouette incorporates Maison Margiela's legendary Tabi split toe, inspired by traditional Japanese tabi socks and one of the defining motifs of the house since Martin Margiela introduced the Tabi boot in his debut collection. Here, the instantly recognizable toe is paired with a streamlined ankle shaft and substantial cylindrical block heel, balancing the conceptual nature of the design with an exceptionally wearable proportion.

The metallic leather continues across the heel for an uninterrupted sculptural silver finish. A discreet concealed hook-and-eye fastening runs along the inner side of each boot, preserving the clean architectural silhouette when worn. Black leather interiors provide contrast against the highly reflective exterior.

An exceptional statement shoe and highly recognizable Margiela collectible, particularly compelling in the cracked silver finish.

Condition

Very Good Pre-Owned Condition.

Light signs of wear consistent with age and use. The metallic leather was intentionally manufactured with a heavily cracked, distressed “broken mirror” appearance, including irregularities and variations throughout the surface that are inherent to the design. Retail descriptions of this model specifically note that variations and imperfections in the cracked finish are normal characteristics of the craftsmanship.

Leather soles show expected signs of previous wear, including surface scuffing, marks and remnants from a previous sole sticker/label as photographed. Heel lifts show light wear. Uppers remain striking and present beautifully.

Please review all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
