As the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games kick off, an old slopes-aficionados’ debate has resurfaced: to ski or to après-ski?
Are you the type that clunkily makes their way to the ski-lift at 8am on the dot – ski boots strapped on – seemingly cosplaying as the Michelin Man? Or do you like the look of snowy peaks framed by a chalet’s thick window, fire crackling, heels ready to come on for a night of alpine revelry?
Well, Dsquared2’s Dean and Dan Caten have channelled the best of both worlds with their latest release, delivering the oh-so-snow ready She Do Ski Boot. Unveiled during the AW26 menswear runway show (which took place in January and unveiled looks for both men and women), the boots are the perfect blend of both sport heritage and futuristic vision, the signature, killer mix of the Canadian design duo. Their sculptural silhouette brings a catwalk-ready touch to alpine performance gear, with a dizzying, arched elevation (without a heel), the body embellished by reinforced buckles and supported by a statement sole engineered for impact.
Straight from the faux snow-covered ski slope that formed the runway for the AW26 show, the She Do Ski Boot can now be pre-ordered for a special release in three show-stopping (or snow-stopping, if you will) versions: one in a shiny fuchsia finish, another in a deep bordeaux hue with ochre details and the final, totally chic, all-black design.
Put your helmet on and get ready for some adrenaline – the snow is thick and these boots are ready to ride the edge. Pre-order your pair here.
