Making the Next Great Dior Sneaker
Dior's all-star lineup of chunky sneakers just got another key player. The "B35 NXXT" is a texturally dynamic sneaker that combines the rugged charm of a standard trail shoe with Dior's opulent house style, resulting in an ultra-luxe stomper.
But the real magic is in the details of the textural shoe, released as part of the Spring/Summer 2025 menswear collection.
The B35 NXXT's woven upper features Dior's Cannage motif, which gives the sneaker an organic edge, complimented by an openwork outsole, which adds some architectural allure to the earthy sneaker.
Despite what its chunky appearance might suggest, the B35 NXXT is light on its feet, thanks to its two-layer technical mesh construction and porous outsole, which keeps things voluminous and springy.
Easy on the feet and the eyes.
Dior is far from the first luxury brand to turn the technical charm of trail gear into a full-on fashion moment. From LOEWE's On Cloudtilt sneaker to Prada's suede hiking shoe, the gap between technical trail wear and luxury fashion has been closing in for a while now.
Couple that with Dior's penchant for heftier sneakers in general, like the B9S or the Chrono, and Dior's dabble into the world of trail-adjacent footwear just makes sense.
Available for $1,300 on Dior's website, the B35 NXXT is proof that not every great new luxury sneaker need be flat, necessarily.
