Dime Is All Smiles With Its New Paraboot “Thiers” Collaboration

Summary

• Dime and Paraboot launched their first collaboration on the THIERS model, fusing high-craftsmanship with streetwear

• The shoe features hand-stitched moc-toe construction with a black leather upper embossed with playful smiley patterns

• The unique, high-craft silhouette is now available on both brands’ channels

The worlds of traditional French shoemaking and Montréal skate culture have converged. Dime and Paraboot have united for their first-ever partnership, delivering a wholly unique interpretation of the classic THIERS model that fuses high craftsmanship with irreverent streetwear design.

The shoe’s foundation is built on impeccable European quality, featuring a robust Blake stitching technique and a meticulously hand-stitched moc-toe construction, all engineered in Paraboot’s renowned workshops. This heritage base provides the canvas for Dime’s whimsical touch: the black leather upper is entirely embossed with warped geometric textures interspersed with playful smiley patterns, instantly transforming the conservative silhouette.

This collaboration is for those who seek a sophisticated aesthetic with a sense of adventure. The result is a shoe that is rooted in meticulous craftsmanship yet speaks to an “out of body experience.” The interior features a co-branded leather insole, underscoring the exclusivity of the piece. The Paraboot x Dime THIERS is now available through both Dime, its flagship and Paraboot’s global network.
