They’re back, baby, and sharper than ever. The Dsquared2 Iconic Skate Boot has returned for a limited-edition reissue sparked by popular demand.
When it comes to cult archive pieces, these ice skate stilettos are of legendary status. Featuring a lace-up closure and glinting metallic ‘blade’ for the sole, they blur the line between sport and statement, just as daring now as they were over a decade ago.
This boot first slid onto the scene at the brand’s AW11 show, carving down the catwalk beneath skinny, distressed denim and draped leather skirts in mid-calf and knee-high styles. Its dramatic and rather literal translation of the location-limited ice skate into a razor-sharp stiletto boot immediately caught the attention of fashion risk-takers worldwide.
Inspired by Dean and Dan Caten’s adolescent love of figure skating whilst growing up in Canada the design fuses nostalgia with the brand’s signature irreverent edge, turning a childhood pastime into a high-octane footwear moment
Rearriving as part of the AW25 collection – which is set to make its debut in Milan on Tuesday, February 25 at 8pm local time – the reissued Skate Boot stays true to its original form while embracing the craftsmanship and attitude that define Dsquared2 today. This time around, the Skate Boot is back in an icy white colorway, reimagined to celebrate Dsquared2’s 30th anniversary while staying true to its cult-favorite origins.
