Dior's Kim Jones and Thibo Denis Release a "Must-Have" 'Dean' Ankle Boot
Kim Jones and Thibo Denis of Dior have dropped a footwear “must-have” called the ‘Dean Ankle Boot.’ A combination of nubuck calfskin, smooth calfskin leather, and technical mesh, the ‘Dean’ is a luxurious take on the traditional hiking boot.
The ‘Dean’ arrives in ‘Brown/Ebony/Navy’ or ‘Natural/Ebony/Burgundy’ and features a “CD Diamond” emblem on the tongue and italicized Dior branding on the mesh panels. Diamond-shaped branding can be found on the heel, as well as the block cap branding on the interior.
A technical rope lace system, padded high uppers, and a thick notched rubber sole unit are what elevates the ‘Dean’ boot over the tactile hiking boot. With unmatched quality and wear resilience, the Dior ‘Dean Ankle Boot’ is available in stores and online worldwide.
