Balenciaga is known for unveiling some of the most distinct designs. The Spanish luxury fashion house constantly delivers unconventional takes on clothing, accessories and footwear, which fall under the skillful guidance of creative director Demna Gvasalia.
Balenciaga’s latest offering is no different. The label remains committed to its edgy style streak with its new release of their Men’s Defender “Worn-Out” sneaker
The new Balenciaga Men’s Defender “Worn-Out” sneaker holds true to its name as it appears dressed in dirt and dust.
Despite the silhouette’s rugged appearance, the sneaker maintains its original design with exaggerated chunky soles and lightweight mesh uppers. However, the style has received an upgrade with its extremely worn-out effect, dramatic jumbo tire treaded sole and a 0.5-inch arch.
Made in China, the style comes in a 9700 Beige Destro color. The shoe has a bright white tone with cream undertones. Bold scuff marks and abrasions cover the lower perimeters and outsole.
The silhouette also includes a destroyed mesh and nylon upper, Balenciaga’s signature logo debossed on the tongue, at the edge of the toe and at the back. Completing the striking style is a wipe with a soft cloth, a back pull-on tab and stained laces.
The Balenciaga Men’s Defender “Worn-Out” sneaker retails for $1,550. The shoe is currently available to purchase in Balenciaga stores and online at retailers like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue.
Balenciaga remains as a highly sought-after luxury brand, revered for its creativity, craftsmanship and contribution to the fashion industry. The brand is known for pushing boundaries and challenging traditional fashion norms.
Just like the office CEO who drives a f-150 and wears work clothes, it's stealing working class style without actually being poor.
Glad to know I was already on the cutting edge of fashion.
"Wow, he must be rich as fuck to go around wearing something that looks so shitty. Such a bold sense of style"I've got to text my dad and let him know his filthy new balances are cool now.
Waiting on the Balenciaga cargo jorts.
What if we tried wearing what the poors are wearing?
Truly unconventional. So bold, so original, so now. Boundaries? Pushed. Norms? Challenged.
Someone watched Zoolander and thought the Derelict collection was a good idea, actually.
What if we tried wearing what the poors are wearing?
I would say this for "normal" overpriced balenciaga sneakers. It is a way for the bourgies to cosplay average people. Wearing pre-worn-out, dirty, falling apart artisan sneakers that cost $1550 to ironically cosplay people in abject poverty in the name of haute' art is almost as offensive as wearing blackface.
Pre-torn and distressed clothes have been a thing for ages, this is hack shit.
I mean this so genuinely, everyone who purchases streetwear shit is beyond saving. "Let me spend a months rent on the ugliest and shittiest single clothing item possible."
Anybody who buys real designer clothes instead of replicas (if they exist) are hopeless
I'm not gonna shit on rich people for buying this stuff cause I mean, lots of people probably think the same when I spend 8 dollars on boba but breaking your wallet to flex on other broke people is sad
What if I buy Jordans knockoffs ironically to dab on rich white kids wearing shiny Jordans? I love knock offs. Sometime KO Jordans literally have better craftmanship and last longer than real Jordans (real Jordans these days can barely last 100 hours on basketball court / 2 year of actually beinh used to play basketball)
Knockoffs are great. I have a bunch of Maison Margiela GAT knockoffs myself
This disturbs me in the way looking at an open wound would.
People paying $1550 for shoes made in China when they can get it for $200 from across the factory. Even $200 is overpriced for this shit
I swear one of these days they will release a shoe that is 100% sole and people will drool and praise it for innovation without realizing that they are basically just Crocs.
