Dirk Bikkembergs Archive FW96 Metal Lace-Through Heel Boots in black leather, EU 43, Made in Belgium. A rare 1990s archive footwear piece defined by Bikkembergs’ sculptural metal heel and extended lacing construction.
The black leather upper is built around an asymmetric wraparound lacing system that passes through the metal heel and continues around the ankle. The combination of polished leather, exposed metal and architectural construction captures the industrial, utilitarian character associated with Bikkembergs’ 1990s footwear.
Construction: black leather upper and lining, leather sole with rubber traction sections, metal heel and lace-through heel system. Made in Belgium.
Condition: exceptional for its age. The pair has been consistently stored with shoe trees after wear and has been well cared for. The leather remains supple and presents very cleanly with only light age-appropriate traces of wear. The metal heels have developed a natural patina over time; they can be polished back to a brighter finish if preferred. Please refer to the detailed photographs for the exact condition.
Size: EU 43 Season: Fall/Winter 1996 Color: Black Material: Leather / Metal Made in: Belgium
A strong collector piece from Dirk Bikkembergs’ 1990s archive: technically unusual, instantly recognizable and preserved in highly wearable condition.
