Jonathan Anderson introduces the Dior Squash for Fall 2026 season, as a reworked running silhouette shaped through material contrast and streamlined construction. The silhouette draws directly from running footwear, with a low profile, rounded toe, and a clearly defined upper built through layered panels.

The upper combines nylon inserts with suede overlays. Open nylon sections appear along the toe and side panels, framed by suede that defines the shape. A central suede panel carries the lacing system, paired with flat laces and a padded tongue marked with Dior. This construction keeps the sneaker lightweight while maintaining a clear outline.
The sole features a sculpted tread that gives the base a defined edge. Its thickness adds weight to the lower half of the sneaker, balancing the lighter upper. A slightly raised heel and curved outsole reinforce the running reference.
Color options include black, cream, and blue, alongside a two-tone version that introduces contrast. A two-tone approach appears through contrast between the base and overlay panels, while laces introduce an additional shift in tone in certain versions. Each pair features Dior branding on the tongue, integrated into the overall design without dominating the upper.
The Squash follows recent Dior sneaker releases, each exploring athletic references through different constructions. The Dior Saltwind introduces a lighter construction with a textile upper and stitched detailing. The Dior Roadie uses a layered construction with nubuck and suede, defined by visible stitching and a flexible build.
