Balenciaga continues to create sneakers that dare to depart from the norm. Case in point? Its latest avant-garde asymmetric pair comes with a scattering of metal staples across its exterior.
Guaranteeing to start conversations wherever you step, the Stapler Sneakers boast a rebellious spirit that’s very much in line with Demna’s current aesthetic for Balenciaga.
For its official launch on 12 September, the French fashion house roped in photographer Chris Lensz for a series of images depicting the Stapler Sneakers on models Annabelle and Daniel, who show off various options in beige, off-white and patinated grey. The sneakers carry a lived-in authenticity with their deliberate worn-out effect on the upper and sides.
Do you love a sense of DIY ingenuity regarding your footwear? Then Balenciaga’s Stapler Sneakers will be the right fit for you. Aside from neutral options, there will also be multicolour versions for those who appreciate a bold mix for everyday dressing.
Priced at SGD1600, the Stapler Sneakers come in sizes ranging from 35 to 46, and you can find them at Balenciaga Singapore’s online store and local boutiques.
