Lewis Hamilton does a lot of things—he drives fast, complains about his tyres (a lot), and now, he designs sneakers. Yep, when he’s not busy yelling “Bono, my tyres are gone,” he’s out here crafting the Dior B44 Blade sneakers with Kim Jones. It’s like he’s trying to dominate both the F1 track and your wardrobe, and honestly, he’s winning at both. 

 
Flashback to the early 2000s, and you might have found yourself in something similar to the chunky, curvy Dior B44s. This new version nods to that Y2K vibe, but in a way that screams fun, not ‘dad sneaker.’ Think of these as your cool, stylish uncle’s sneakers—the kind that let you sip your first beer. With a bold, retro-futuristic aesthetic, these kicks blend technical mesh and microfiber for a layered, textured look that’s both breathable and comfy. Whether you’re strutting down city streets or working a red carpet, they’ve got you covered. 
 

And, of course, it’s Dior. The logo isn’t shy; it’s all over the sides, heel, and tongue—a luxury shout-out that flaunts, not whispers. With fresh colours like black, white, aqua green, and yellow, these sneakers aren’t just for blending in; they’re for standing out. 
 

The B44 Blade isn’t just about looks; it’s about performance. The signature ‘blade’ sole is inspired by track athletes’ footwear, giving you both grip and style. Whether you’re hopping cobblestones or scooting through the paddock, like Hamilton. 

Part of Dior’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, this collab between Kim Jones and Hamilton isn’t just for the high street—it’s for the top shelf. If you snag a pair, pair them with slim joggers or tapered jeans for that sporty-cool vibe or go sharp with tailored trousers to level up your streetwear game. The B44 Blade can turn any outfit into an instant flex. Feeling bold? Go for the gradient versions—picture orange kicks against an all-black outfit. It’s an instant showstopper. For something classic, the white or black options bring a refined, timeless appeal that works everywhere—from the gym to rooftop soirées. 
 
Now, luxury doesn’t come cheap. The B44s are priced at approximately ₹1,16,000 (that’s around $1,400), and no, they won’t accept your old Nikes in exchange. But remember, these aren’t just any sneakers; they’re a speed-fueled fashion icon designed by a racing legend and a top designer. It’s an investment—in exclusivity, style, and speed.
