The perfect break in style: The new Dior “punk” shoes combine rebellion and elegance

They are a sophisticated symbiosis of punk and ballet and thus create an interesting break in style: The new Dior “punk” shoes were presented as part of the Cruise 2025 show – and are already among the absolute must-haves. With hers(which, by the way, is also atand heels are currently in trend) and the soft, elegantly shiny leatherinitially very feminine. However, the attached buckles, which are based on punk wardrobe, create a harsh contrast. This creates a kind of black swan effect, which is entirely in keeping with the motto ofstands.

A variation of the flats is available in a sandy beige tone. Here the black straps come into their own in a particularly contrasting way.

Mary Janes, originally from the 1920s and inspired by a comic book character, are characterized by the buckle over the instep. For a long time they were considered girlish and childlike. At some point, however, they were adopted by the punk movement - of course modified with platform soles and fishnet tights. Dior combines these elements and creates a rebellious note from the combination of ballet shoes, Mary Jane and punk that no longer has anything to do with the innocent image of the strappy shoe. It thus becomes a symbol of freedom, individuality and community and invites you to break away from everyday life.

The designs ofCreative designer Maria Grazia Chiuri is particularly famous forand self-confidence. You can see this very well in the “punk” shoe: an interpretation made of leather, with sturdy buckles, gives the once feminine, elegant ballet shoe a new strength and expression. Another interesting detail: The golden Christian Dior logo is cut off a bit by the rivets. This detail underlines the rebelliousness of the design.

This fall, Mary Janes and square toe shoes are totally on trend because they're a special mixand offer modernity. Balletcore has also been with us for a long time and will continue to influence fashion in the coming season. We are particularly fascinated by the aesthetics of Dark Balletcore, i.e. the dark, imperfect side of ballet, and allow for more experimentation in fashion. Mixed with the modern punk trend, freedom-loving, strong looks are created.

Because the shoe itself combines so many influences, it is also suitable for versatile combinations: punk, balletcore, girly or all in one - there are no limits to the styling. Tights, cuffs and a skirt are ideal for a feminine outfit. With suit trousers and a casual, oversized shirt with the flats you can go straight to the office, or like Dior, you can take up the British look and combine the shoes with socks with an argyle pattern and a pleated skirt. However you style it – one thing is certain: with the Dior “Punk” shoe there are no limits to your individuality.
