Christian Dior once said: “You can judge whether a woman is elegant by looking at her feet.” It seems that sentiment has remained at the heart of the name of the French fashion brand that has become synonymous with luxury footwear.
Dior’s unwavering reputation is one of refined elegance based on its commitment to savoir-faire, a French term that encapsulates the capacity for grace and elegance in social situations. And while the French designer rose to fame with his loose skirts and fitted dresses known as the “New Look”, Dior’s sophisticated pumps and low heels also helped put the brand on the map.
Besides its tasteful evening shoes and heels, Dior has also cultivated a following among the sneaker community. The hugely popular Dior and Nike Air Jordan collaboration in 2020 brought together luxury fashion and activewear. This mix of designer style and streetwear has become a mainstay for Dior, with the brand offering a wide range of trainers that never compromise comfort for style.
Ranging from classic Dior pumps to new sneakers from the French fashion house, these iconic pairs of shoes are worth the investment and will never go out of style.
J’Adior slingback pump
Perhaps one of the most recognizable pairs of Dior shoes are the classic J’Adior pumps, released in 2017. These pumps are a nod to the J’Adior slingbacks of 1962, a pivotal moment for the brand. Crafted in a distinguished black technical fabric with a two-tone embroidered “J’Adior” ribbon, these heels are elegance incarnate.
Basketball B22
Reimagining the classic “chunky” sneaker design, the B22 is a plush take on streetwear. Crafted from black technical mesh, smooth calfskin and a low top, these shoes could add the perfect finish to an everyday casual look or an outfit for the gym.
Ballerina Idyll
After making waves at the Dior Winter 2022-23 show, the Idylle ballerina is here to meet all your business-casual fashion needs. Topped with a bow and an asymmetrical buckle, these pumps are chic and sober but distinctly Dior.

A sheer mesh topcoat adds texture to these designer sneakers while protecting the canvas.
