Dior B23 High Top Logo Oblique

Released on 1 August 2019 and part of the Dior B23 line. This release has the White/Black colourway. The B23, style code 3SH118YJP_H069, is Dior's own high-top, and it is the shoe that carries Oblique canvas as a full upper rather than as a trim. That matters historically: when Kim Jones designed the Air Dior Jordan 1 with Jordan Brand for pre-fall 2020, the Oblique monogrammed Swoosh was borrowed directly from this shoe. In other words, the B23 is the source and the Air Dior is the quotation. Oblique itself is the diagonal repeat monogram the house uses across bags, ready-to-wear and sneakers, sitting alongside Cannage, the diamond quilting drawn from the Napoleon III chairs in the Avenue Montaigne salon, as a code every Dior director inherits.
