Jonathan Anderson Reimagines the Basketball Trainer for Dior

Ball is life, or it certainly is for Jonathan Anderson, who continues to reshape Dior’s footwear offering. His latest venture is the Dior Hooper, a new trainer unveiled as part of the House’s Winter 2026 collection.

Drawing inspiration from the clean lines of 1980s basketball sneakers, the silhouette combines a streamlined profile with elevated detailing. A suede overlay adds subtle texture, while the Cannage motif is discreetly embossed into the sole, offering a quiet reference to one of Dior’s most recognisable design signatures.

The Dior Hooper launches in two iterations, one crafted in the House’s iconic Dior Oblique jacquard canvas and another in a bold two-tone finish, reflecting Anderson’s balance of heritage and contemporary sportswear influences.
