Take Another Look at the ERL x Dior B9S Skate Shoes

After teasing a series of collaborative footwear silhouettes with Travis Scott‘s Cactus Jack, Dior Men‘s footwear designer Thibo Denis now reveals a new skate silhouette in collaboration with Eli Russell Linnetz. Pre-emptively dubbed the “ERL x Dior B9S,” the silhouette echoes the chunky retro aesthetic of its B713 sneaker with a thick padded tongue and wide laces.

First revealed at Dior’s Spring 2023 “California Couture” show and now surfacing in purple, white, and brown colorways, the upcoming pairs are a clear nod toward the unconventional Osiris D3 skate shoes featuring jagged suede overlays with matrix patterns spread across the padded tongue and rubber mudguard. Dior monogram patterns are found across the fabric base layer and white midsoles while additional “CD” initials are engraved into the metallic eyelets. Rounding out the design are embroidered leather tongues, double-stacked foam heels, and traction outsoles.

Look for more information on the ERL x Dior B9S pairs to emerge in the coming weeks.
