Dsquared2 Revives Iconic ‘Skate Moss’ Boots — Here’s How Much They Are Now
Dsquared2 went back to the archives for its latest shoe launch. On Tuesday, the label announced that its Iconic Skate boot — also nicknamed the “Skate Moss” — is now available for pre-order, 14 years since its debut.
The coveted Dsquared2 Skate Moss boots first launched on the Fall/Winter 2011 runway and instantly became an hit for its unique design. The shoe resembles an ice skate after co-founders Dean and Dan Caten were inspired by their childhood love of figure skating in their home of Canada. The boot reimagines a figure skate as a lace-up stiletto boot detailed with a metallic “blade” for a sole.
Now it’s back by popular demand.
The limited-edition reissue comes as part of the Dsquared2 30th anniversary and its Fall/Winter 2025 collection. The made-in-Italy leather shoe can be seen in a snow-white colorway and sits atop a platform. It retails for $3,190 on Dsquared.com.

When the shoes were originally released in 2011 they were priced from $1,485 to $1,895 at retail.
Most recently, the Skate Moss boot has had a bit of a resurgence with the likes of Mariah the Scientist and Julia Fox bringing back the shoe. Fox wore them while promoting her upcoming film “Presence” on an episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” last month, for instance.
In January, Dsquared2 also took to TikTok to an unearth the archival style and fans reacted in the comments begging the designers to bring back the boot. One of those included tennis star Naomi Osaka, writing, “Please bring these back, I’ve been trying to find my size for years.”
Looks like she’s in luck.
