If we were intellectuals, we could say that the creation of this pair of sneakers is intended as an intrusion of the poor suburbs of discount retail into the endogamous world of the bourgeois luxury industry.

But we are only artists, and the owners of Dior and Lidl are both billionaires, so we will content ourselves with remembering that sneakers are the shoes of the street, much like Van Gogh's shoes that emanate (or exalt) the scent of the peasant's toil through a painting.

Our questions. Today, sneakers are luxury items, objects of speculation, inaccessible. Is it enough to wear glass slippers to become Cinderella? What is the life expectancy of the good fairies from Southeast Asia who manufacture these shoes every day, allowing those who can afford them to shine on ballroom nights or the first days of school?

Our answer to this, the Dior X Lidl.

The Dior X Lidl is made from an authentic Nike Jordan Retro High Dior, number 3576/8500, painted in Lidl colors and personalized with the names of the two owners of the luxury giant LVMH and the distribution company Lidl : Bernard Arnault and Dieter Schwartz, brought together for the occasion. A tag from the shopping cart of difficult end-of-month groceries is attached to the pair of sneakers. It is also certified by NFT.
