Dior has released the Roadie shoes, designed by Jonathan Anderson. Anderson wore them during his first show for the house. The shoes play with the codes of men’s footwear, reinterpreting them with a new twist. They sit between casual sneakers and functional elegance.

The sole is divided in two and designed to bend easily, following the foot’s movement. The cannage pattern appears on the sole as a decorative feature. The shoes pair nubuck with a mesh-effect printed suede insert. Hand-stitched seams are highlighted by clean edges.

Colors include brown, gray, dark green and beige, each with a colored sole. A black and gray derby version offers a more timeless option. A tone-on-tone “Dior” logo is embroidered on the side. Thick laces complete the silhouette.

 

The Dior Roadie shoes are available online.
