As seen on Unboxed Issue 56. The Unboxed newsletter covers the most important stories of the week across sneakers, sports, and fashion straight to your inbox on Mondays.
We’ve seen high-fashion and luxury houses dip their toes into sneaker trends for years.
From Air Jordan 1 to Stan Smith lookalikes, it’s not uncommon to see sneakers influence transcend into a different echelon and price point. But Dior’s latest sneaker is a head-turner. No, this isn’t a New Balance sneaker, but the Dior B30 strikes some bold similarities to the Boston-based brand’s iconic 990 series.
Again, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen sneakers influence. But with New Balance’s current hot streak, it was only a matter of time that a high-end brand reinterpreted a model of theirs.
Take a look at the Dior B30 here.
