The creator of Dior's male footwear, Thibo Denis, has recently hinted at a new ‘B33’ shoe on his personal Instagram account. The shoe has a hefty structure and seems to be a simple design that borrows style inspiration from vintage low-tops. The pair come in two fresh seasonal designs: one in black, navy, and white tones and the other in all-white. The Dior Oblique design has been transformed and embossed on the mudguard, the heel guard of the outsole, and the underfoot sole.
Boasting a chunky sole unit, the new Dior sneakers are perfect for consumers looking at luxury dad-style silhouettes. Currently, no release date has been confirmed for these pairs, but consumers can expect them to launch in the near future on Dior’s website.
