Jonathan Anderson premiered the Roadie as a signature footwear piece during his Dior Men Spring/Summer 2026 runway, positioning it as his first major sneaker direction for the house. (wwd.com ) Dior’s product listing describes the Roadie as marrying “ultra-supple” construction with hand-stitched detailing and a layered, suede-and-mesh look, and the model appears in multiple colorways on the brand’s online catalogue. (dior.com ) The shoe hit shelves at a reported MSRP of $1,200 and was marked “available now” in early January 2026 across Dior boutiques and the label’s e‑commerce channels. (hypebeast.com ) Regional press photographing Dior’s rollout flagged several of the brand’s ambassadors and “friends” wearing the Roadie in public and campaign imagery, naming figures such as Hyunjin, James Jirayu and Phutatchai among those showing the silhouette. (lofficielph.com ) Sneaker and fashion outlets quickly compared the Roadie’s low, chunky profile and doubled tongue to early‑2000s/Nike archival shapes, framing the release as part of a broader revival of Y2K court and chunky‑sole aesthetics.
