Dirk Bikkembergs SS96 Metal Straps Military Leather Boots

  By Spring/Summer 1996, Dirk Bikkembergs had fully established his signature synthesis of sportswear and militant utility. Part of the Antwerp Six, Bikkembergs diverged from his peers by focusing on athletic masculinity and robust garment construction. The SS96 collection was a distilled vision of his footballer-meets soldier archetype, featuring skin-tight silhouettes, harnesses, and functional gear that challenged traditional menswear elegance. Leather, elasticated materials, and steel elements reinforced a vision of the male body as both an object of desire and discipline. These rare SS96 boots embody that ethos, crafted from heavy black leather with asymmetrical folds and secured by dual straps, including a signature brushed metal band across the foot.
