HISTORY
From Dirk Bikkembergs’ influential 1990s period, these side-laced boots exemplify the designer’s fusion of athletic strength and luxury craft. Bikkembergs, part of the Antwerp Six, frequently incorporated bold utilitarian elements into footwear, with the heel-hole lacing system becoming a signature detail. This pair captures the era’s focus on architectural forms and experimental construction while remaining highly functional.
