Footwear fans rejoice. Dsquared2‘s iconic Skate boots are back by popular demand for a limited-edition reissue.
Inspired by the brand’s founders Dean and Dan Caten’s childhood love of figure skating in their home of Canada, the Skate silhouette will be re-released for Dsquared2‘s fall 2025 collection in an “Off White” colorway in honor of the brand’s 30th anniversary.
Dubbed the “Skate Moss” shoe by fans, the style reimagines traditional ice skates as a razor-sharp stiletto boot fixed with lace-up closures and shining metallic “blades” for soles. The boots are currently available for pre-order via Dsquared2’s website retailing for $3,190.00.

The iconic silhouette debuted during the brand’s fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection, set against the backdrop of winter weather, covered wagons and Western frontiers. Models were outfitted in leather dusters, maximalist furs and frayed jeans paired with gaudy ten-gallon hats that fit the theme to a tee. Ready to combat the winter weather, many models stormed down the runway in the “Skate Moss” boot in varying heights and colorways.
The hype around the shoe is never-ending, however, the Skate style has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity as of late, thanks in part to celebrities like Julia Fox and Mariah the Scientist who recently wore the coveted style during a talk show appearance and basketball game respectively.
Dsquared2 recognized the popularity of the Skate silhouette in a post made to TikTok on Jan. 19 where the designer brother duo unearthed the shoe from their archives to strut around in. Before the re-launch, the Skate style could only be sought out for big bucks on resale sites like EBay, Grailed, Farfetch, The Real Real and 1stDibs.
Founded in Canada and based in Italy, Dsquared2 was launched in 1995 by identical twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten. The brand is best known for its unique men’s and women’s apparel, cosmetics, footwear and fragrances that focus on sporty, campy and glamorous motifs.
