The future develop anticipation and method of Tabi are worth researching. This paper introduces many information about Tabi and Marsion Margiela, including the background, MM’s dadaism and deconstructivism, Tabi’s culture and gender identity, etc. This study uses questionnaire to collect data and responses from individuals, which mostly from teenagers and young people. From these data, it summarizes that the public’s perception of Tabi is polarizing. Most of students under 25 years old want to attempt Tabi shoes, and there is a good trend for Tabi’s future. There are still many people who even do not want to try Tabi. Furthermore, it is good that most people do not have gender discrimination in Tabi’s wearing, but male are far less receptive to Tabi than female, which can lead to future gender disidentification, paradoxically. This paper will benefit more people to understand Tabi, and put forward some suggestions for the future development of Tabi.
