The "ugly shoes" that I hated in those years are now so fashionable


The Tabi, Maison Margiela's split-toe shoe, is one of the fashion world's first things that don't look so "beautiful" at first glance. Since the launch of Tabi, the opinion has always gone to two extremes, some people think its design is special, while others feel that it is not part of their aesthetic category.

There's also an Instagram "Anything Can Clip" contest dedicated to Tabi; It is also often seen in street photos of Japanese and Korean celebrities.

An e-commerce platform once summarized the sales data of over-toed shoes, and the sales volume in 2018 alone increased by more than two times compared with the previous year. Even so, there are still a lot of people have prejudice against this pair of shoes, until the past two years Maison Margiela launched a sneaker version of the toe shoes, so that more people know the beauty of Tabi.

There are before the bath house slippers, just looks like the level of appearance is not too high, the heart is very rejected.

But the chubby Yeezy Slides turned it around, and even the normally dressy Emily Ratajkowski couldn't resist its charm.

It can be seen that even if countless people do not understand the "ugly shoes" before, there is a chance to turn over and get attention again. Several popular shoes this year are just such examples. They used to belong to the "ugly shoes" category, and after redesign, ushered in an explosion of exposure.

A new "ugly shoes become beautiful" trend is on the way - since its arrival, it seems that the entire fashion circle is hoping for rain, and some people will wear it outside on a sunny day - rain boots are here!

In fact, at the beginning of the popular square shoes feel more temperament than round shoes, more comfortable than pointed shoes, it can be said that the perfect combination of appearance level and practicality, but the square head design is easy to make the whole shoe look like a sense of time.

Later, the square head shoes launched by major brands will be designed more generously, and suddenly have a modern sense.
