As [Highsnobiety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balances-tech-explosion) reports, [Maison Dior's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viv-on-the-run) head footwear designer, Thibo, recently unveiled an exclusive pair of retro basketball sneakers, which were made in a collaboration between Shawn Stussy and [Dior B23](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-b9s-sneakers).

The sneaker features a simple build that's reminiscent of the Chuck Taylor All Star. What really makes the design standout however are the unique graphics that decorate the uppers and midsoles. The graphics boast a hand-drawn look, with cartoonish flowers, leaves, and waves flowing together to fill the white space on the inside-facing sides of the uppers. On the exterior sides, Dior's branding is featured in a pattern, with a large skull and crossbones graphic that's meshed with a bee featured over top—a reference to the two brands.
