The white D-Connect sneaker, a now classic Dior design, was first presented during the Spring-Summer 2019 runway show. The silhouette is crafted in slightly elastic technical fabric and features a thick two-part rubber sole with transparent rubber inserts. The combination of different materials punctuated with the tonal 'DIOR' signature on the back creates a very contemporary look for the shape while the two tongues make it easy to slip on.

Dior is a house of revolution in fashion. Not a Jean-Paul Gaultier kind of seism but definitely one that shaped and brought a real new thing to the after war fashion world: after years of restrictions and especially concerning fabrics, Christian Dior made a collection in 1946 that embodied opulence, luxury and unapologetic femininity.
Along the early days of women’s enfranchisement and (relative) freedom in France, Christian Dior offered collections that yelled for joie de vivre and fun for women. From head to toe, his silhouettes were playful, cheerful, made with dozens of metres of fabric and called for a renaissance of elegance.
The Dior signature has to be one of those iconic ones that we see the most on T-shirts, bags, purses, shoes, etc.
These sneakers were not an exception too: You can see on the authentic model how finely signatures are put on the sides of the sneakers; The letters are faded-out black and the creamy-white background goes very well with the patchwork-effect.
Replica factories did not succeed in copying these details as their logos are pitch black with a pale white background that create such a huge contrast that it is very hard to miss.
