Dior Unveils the New Warp Sandal with Gardening Performance

Dior introduces a new footwear silhouette to join its roster for the Summer 2023 season in the form of the Warp Sandal. The luxe design is a part of the campaign inspired by gardening purposes highlighting its collaborative project with Duncan Grant as well.

The Paris-based fashion house unveils the design by Thibo Denis that stems from a futuristic design angle. It has the classic Cannage design that is inspired by cane chairs and functions similarly to an exoskeleton to showcase the elements inside. Due to this, the shoe is lightweight and has a thick insole at the base. The colorway options include mint green, white, pink, and black with contrasting uppers externally complete with a lot of cushioning.
