In 2017 there was the sock-inspired Speed; next came the bouncy, stacked Triple S. Now, Balenciaga’s artistic director Demna Gvasalia reaches cult status sneaker level for the third time with the recent release of the Track.
First seen at the brand’s Autumn Winter 2018 presentation in March, the Track sneakers draw inspiration from the technology used in outdoor performance shoes, featuring overlapping protective panels, a caged constructed sole with superb grip, extended tread and integrated double laces. These feature-laden hybrids, which are suitable for running and hiking, have been spotted on the feet of influencers and tastemakers across the globe and are tipped to sell out fast.
