Below, take a look at some of the best sneakers and shoe charms the French fashion house has on the market, from the quintessential Dior Oblique patterned high-top to white tennis shoes.

Dior-ID Sneakers

Dior’s ID Sneakers are an ode to the brand, complete with a “DIOR-ID” adhesive tongue, a rubber insert with a “Christian Dior signature at the back and notched rubber sole featuring star details — the designer’s lucky symbol. For a supremely modern look, the rubber insert on the style conceals the laces. The contemporary silhouette is finished in smooth calfskin leather and comes in an all-white version, as well as styles with pops of color on the front strap and heel tab.

Dior Solar Slip-On Sneaker

An elevated slip-on, Dior’s Solar Sneaker features a breathable cotton upper embroidered with the brand’s hallmark Toile de Jouy motif and set atop a thick, on-trend outsole. For a matching head-to-toe look, pair the sneakers with the brand’s short-sleeved hooded sweatshirt and shorts done in the print.

Dior B23 Low-Tops

Dior’s B23 low-top sneaker comes in a range of styles including classic colorways like the Dior Oblique patterned sneaker to newer designs for the brand’s fall ’20 teaser release. This classic low-top is one style Dior considers an essential to own.

For fans of the classic Dior Oblique logo, the French luxury brand provides a variety of colorways to indulge, including classic black and white and multicolored. The comfortable style retails for $990 online.

The B23 sneaker also has an innovative clear mesh casing that casts off a sleek and contemporary look. For Dior’s most recent release of the B23, the fashion house teamed up with artist Daniel Arsham for some low-tops reminiscent of John Galiano’s famous newsprint frocks he designed for Dior back in 2000.

Dior B23 High-Tops

Another traditional sneaker style Dior has tapped into is the high-top. Crafted in stylish colorways such as the B23 Black and White Dior Oblique canvas and newer designs by Shawn Stussy.

For Dior’s fall ’20 teaser, Kim Jones, the artistic director of Dior men’s collection, collaborated with Shawn Stussy, the American designer behind the namesake streetwear line (that he has since sold) and New York-based artist Daniel Arsham. The two creatives designed a few sneakers that are available to shop now, both on Dior.com and resale sites like Stockx (for iterations that have sold out on Dior’s site).

Daniel Arsham’s newsprint sneaker for Dior is also offered in the high-top style for $1,100. The black and white Dior B23 High-Top Sneaker with Dior and Daniel Arsham Motif taps into a bigger trend of newsprint we have seen in recent seasons in clothing, swimwear and now accessories.

Dior B22 Sneakers

The B22 sneaker is Dior’s nostalgic nod to chunky retro running style trainers. While some may say this is Dior’s “dad sneaker,” this is one sophisticated shoe. The B22 features calfskin uppers and a chunky, sculpted sole. For fall ’20, Dior introduces a blue, black and yellow colorway in its collection. The sneaker comes in an array of colorways for customers to select.

For shoppers looking to go more neutral, Dior offers the B22 in a futuristic white mesh and silver calfskin colorway, as well.

Dior CD1 Sneakers

Dior’s CD1 Sneaker is inspired by the classic running shoe. Notably, it’s tie-dye colorways have picked up traction. Swae Lee, FN’s February cover star, posted a photo of himself rocking the tie-dye sneaker back in March.

Dior B01 Sneaker

Dior’s B01 sneaker is a closet staple for men. The minimalist low-top is done in smooth leather and classic colors. On the back, a bee adorns the shoe, giving a nod to one of Dior’s signature emblems.

Best Dior Sneaker Charms

The House of Dior has a few charms customers can add to their sneakers, as well. Retailed at $180, the charms can elevate any lace-up sneaker. The French luxury brand offers a few styles that customers can select and snap on to any lace-up sneaker including gold silver and black charms.

Christian Dior Taps Snapchat Augmented Reality For B27 Sneaker Launch

Last fall, in a seminal move for the brand, Christian Dior’s Creative Director, Kim Jones made a foray into the high top, lace-up, rubber-soled world of skater wear. With the arrival of the house’s B27 Sneaker, the bulbous hips and corseted tailoring of CD’s inception seemed a far thing of the past. Now, Jones was embracing an urban casualness, a sporty refinement only found in the spirit of sportswear.

Dovetailing Jones’ bold pivot from what was, the Dior teamed partnered with Snapchat in the first tech partnership of its kind. Together they unveiled an AR try-on filter simulating a nuanced and realistic picture of in-store shopping. Promoted through the Snapchat Lenses Carousel and Snap Ads to AR Lens format, users were prompted to try on six pairs of B27s and then given the opportunity to purchase through app.

A marketing push that tapped the language of our times, Dior pushed into the tech territory of sought after Gen Z consumers, courting them on their own turf, making point of purchase not only novel, but seamlessly integrated into the shopping experience. Redefining the ephemeral ‘it-dom’ of concept shops and pop-ups, the B27 ad-punch turned over 3.8x the brand’s standard return on ad spend, and 6.2x that return from Snap’s Lens Carousel.

“Luxury brands build and extend a legacy. To do this, they need to be where their audience is, and if they don’t speak to them right away, they run the risk of losing them permanently,” said Snapchat’s head of luxury, Geoffrey Perez. “Considering that visual communication is at the heart of ‘Snapchat’s Generation,’ they need to talk to them now.”

Dior’s B27 sneaker is available now on dior.com
