Dior Men's footwear designer Thibo Denis showcases a new look at the new B9S skate sneaker model that is made in collaboration with Eli Russel Linnetz. The new shoe boasts a chunky shape for a retro design language and it commemorates the previous B713 sneaker from its own archives.
The shoe is detailed with a thick padded tongue and wide laces over the forefoot. It made its original debut during the fashion house's Spring 2023 California Couture show and now it arrives in a white, purple, and brown colorway. It has jagged suede materials overlaying on top of the upper along with a rubber mudguard and branding details across the base layer in the form of the Dior monogram.
