Over the past weekend, Demna Gvasalia unveiled his Spring/Summer 2024 collection for Balenciaga, marking a remarkable return to the brand’s distinctive essence. The runway transformed into a theatrical stage, graced not only by models but also by family and friends, resulting in one of Demna’s most intimate showcases to date. And following swiftly in its footsteps, Balenciaga has unleashed its latest creation – the Cargo Sneaker, a star from yesterday’s runway spectacle.
This sneaker, marking an exclusive release, bears Balenciaga’s trademark colossal proportions, rivaling or even surpassing the brand’s previous chunky sneaker offerings like the Track Runner and Triple S. Crafted from microfiber and mesh in a palette of gray, black, and yellow, the sneaker makes a statement.
What sets this shoe apart is its amplified volumes and reflective accents adorning the sole, rear, and portions of the upper. Subtle worn detailing adds a touch of dystopian and futuristic charm. Other distinctive features include an embroidered Balenciaga logo on the tongue and upper, accompanied by a 3B sports icon on the sides. It’s worth noting that this shoe’s oversized fit spans two sizes, ensuring a bold style statement.
With a price tag of $1,490 USD, Balenciaga’s Cargo Sneaker is now available online, but act fast – it’s a limited edition with only 1,000 units up for grabs.
