I gotta say, after looking at some of this stuff online (Netshoes? Who even shops there anymore? Just kidding… mostly), Dior’s sneaker game is, like, *intense*. We’re not talking your run-of-the-mill Chuck Taylors here. We’re talking chunky soles, textures that probably cost more than my rent, and enough “couture and urbanity” to make your head spin. It’s a whole vibe, a very *expensive* vibe.
And then you see stuff about Kim Jones’ B9s sneaker. It’s high-tech. Super high-tech. Like, they actually *made* a whole thing about how it was made. I’m over here wondering if they used tiny, Swiss clockwork gears in the sole or something. Probably not, but, you know, “Swiss Movement DIOR Shoe” is stuck in my head now!
The weird thing is, when you think “Dior,” you immediately think elegance, right? The La D de Dior Satine with its *quartz* movement (okay, *that* makes sense) or those designer shoes that scream “I have a trust fund.” But then you throw in these, like, super-modern sneakers, and it’s this weird clash of worlds. It’s like they’re trying to appeal to both the Park Avenue ladies *and* the hypebeasts. And honestly? It kinda works.
I mean, imagine rocking a Dior watch (with its actual Swiss movement) and some ridiculously expensive Dior sneakers. You’d be the epitome of high-low fashion. Or, you’d just look like you’re trying too hard. It could go either way, TBH.
And the “Chiffre Rouge”? What even IS that? It sounds like a secret code, or maybe a really fancy shade of lipstick. I’m guessing it’s another kind of watch, but honestly, after seeing the sneakers, I’m starting to think Dior could make a shoe that literally tells time. Wouldn’t that be something? (Patent pending, Dior, if you’re reading this).
