As the engines roar and the city of Miami braces for the heat of the 2025 Grand Prix, a different kind of horsepower is making waves off-track. British luxury footwear label DUKE + DEXTER (D+D) has teamed up with the BWT Alpine Formula One Team to launch an exclusive capsule collection that brings the fast-paced world of motorsport into the realm of refined streetwear. This is a statement of speed, spirit, and style.
From Brixton to the Paddock
We have long followed the London-based D+D brand, long admired for its handcrafted, detail-driven approach to footwear. Although known to us for blending modern sensibilities with the reimagined pin up designs and vintage aged tones, D+D brings its signature energy to the BWT Alpine Formula One Team’s 2025 Miami Grand Prix wardrobe.
Announced just days before the event, the collaboration signals a new chapter in how F1 teams engage with lifestyle audiences, less pit lane, more runway.
“Bringing together BWT Alpine Formula One Team and DUKE + DEXTER for our special 2025 Miami Grand Prix apparel collection has been hugely exciting,” a team representative shared. “The exclusive capsule collection combines the sharp engineering of Formula One together with the craftsmanship and racing spirit of D+D’s designs, including the first special edition ‘Plus Duke’ sneakers.”
A First for Duke + Dexter
Now that the full release has been unveiled, we’re getting a closer look at standout pieces like the Alpine Formula One Team Racing Jacket and the Alpine Formula One Team Sneaker. As expected, the collection delivers a signature fusion of precision-engineered apparel, elevated design details, and curated silhouettes that reflect the core identities of both brands. Think race-ready materials, Miami-inspired colour palettes, and bold tailoring rooted in motorsport functionality. At the centre of the capsule are the “Plus Duke” sneakers, a statement piece that embodies Alpine’s technical excellence and D+D’s disruptive approach to luxury footwear. Look out for Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan sporting them across the circuit’s media events and fan zones this weekend.
Where Culture and Velocity Collide
Formula One’s recent cultural expansion into music, fashion, and entertainment has transformed the paddock into a global stage with much more on the way. With Netflix’s Drive to Survive ushering in a new era of fandom, collaborations like this offer deeper ways for fans to connect with the sport, visually, emotionally, and now sartorially. For D+D, it’s a chance to break the mould of what a fashion collaboration looks like: not just co-branded items, but a creative alliance rooted in storytelling and shared values of innovation, performance, and individuality.
Final Lap
As the sun sets on South Beach and engines prep for lights out, this capsule drop stands as a bold reminder:of how intrisnictly linked style and racing have always been. Whether you’re trackside or watching from the rooftop, this drop invites you to wear the race, not just watch it. Stay tuned for the collection launch and exclusive visuals from the Miami Grand Prix weekend. Because this time, the real action starts off the track.
