Drenched in pink and blue tie-dye along the upper, the sneakers feature an ombre design that recall a galaxy full of vibrant colors. The style is crafted of calfskin and technical mesh, aligning with Dior’s elevated sensibility and bringing in a subtle element of sportiness. Other key details like the laces and midsole are kept clean in stark white, reflecting the label’s overall clean and subdued color palette for SS20 and contrasting against the saturated paneling. Dior logos on the tongue, midsole, heel and insole round it all out with a signature touch of branding.
The CD1 Sneakers With Tie-Dye Print are priced at €990 EUR (approximately $1,150 USD) and available to shop now at Dior’s website and 24s’ webstore.
