[Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b57) introduces its latest ‘B101’ sneaker after it was initially previewed at the label’s Fall/Winter 2022 menswear show. The sneaker is described as a wardrobe staple, arriving with a low-cut design and [four neutral colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-001) that range from black and white to cream and beige. The uppers are crafted with [black calf leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-uk-2), while nubuck inserts decorate the front of the sneaker. Dior and CD Diamond branding can be spotted on the sole, tongue, and heel.

Small details like a lace-up closure, leather lining, and topstitching take this silhouette to the next level. The sneaker is rounded off with a thick eggshell-colored outsole. The Dior ‘B101’ sneakers are now available at the fashion label’s retail locations.
