Footwear is considered by many as the central element of an outfit. It’s a statement of who you are and what you value, often saying much more than we think. Jonathan Anderson knows this well, which is precisely why he has signed the new Roadie Shoes for Dior, a comfortable, playful, versatile, and high-end model that works as a hybrid option for those who usually stick to sneakers but want to elevate their look. Anderson himself wore them for his debut collection at the French Maison, proving that there’s no stronger statement than a designer stepping into his own creations.
The colour palette offers plenty of choice, from brown, grey, and dark green to beige with a contrasting sole. The Dior logo appears embroidered on the side in a subtle tone-on-tone finish, while a more understated black and grey version with a derby-like shape caters to a more classic taste. Easy to wear and adaptable, they feel destined to slip effortlessly into everyday life.
Material-wise, nubuck is paired with mesh-effect printed suede, alongside visible hand-stitched seams and clean edges that don’t hide the work behind them. This is where the sense of luxury truly comes through, not in overly polished finishes, but in details that reveal the human touch and the process itself. The result carries a distinctive artisanal spirit, shaped by a clear fascination with workwear and its raw, functional appeal.
