Balenciaga footwear and the contemporary fashion industry

For many modern women, fashion and class are defined in the exhibition of apparel and accessories, with great brands providing elegance and chic. Today women can walk tall – and comfortable – in the new iconic Balenciaga triples sneakers. The exclusive sneakers are designed for outdoor and casual activities and make for a cool combination with almost any attire.

The Balenciaga fashion brand revels in innovation, continually surprising the industry with unique collections for both genders. The brand has a great history of maintaining originality and quality in all its products, and the new Triple S sneaker is the brand’s piece de resistance. The trainers are versatile piece to complement every woman’s wardrobe.

The mastermind behind Balenciaga Triple S

The Triple S sneaker is an iconic hybrid product that represents a significant break with tradition. The fashion industry is experiencing a renaissance in footwear and accessories, but none beats the quality of this new shoe from Balenciaga. The Triple S is the collaborative creation of two famous fashion icons: Demna Gvasalia and footwear designer David Tourniaire Beauciel, both of whom have strong histories in the fashion and design industry.  

David Tourniaire Beauciel gives sneaker fashion a modern slant, imbuing the Balenciaga Triple S with a combination of European design and athletic technology to offer comfort, elegance, and luxury. Beauciel has in his time ventured into various design arenas, as creative footwear designer for fashion brands such as Maison, Marigiela, Givenchy and more.  

The S in Triple S stands for sole, in recognition of the sneaker’s three soles, which utilise hi-tech materials inspired by running shoes, basketball shoes and track shoes to provide ultimate comfort. Created in 2017 and debuting on the runway for the Balenciaga fall/winter 2017 collection, the shoe was designed to combine haute couture and streetwear, redefining both and remaining consistently popular since. The younger generation have dubbed it an “ugly dad” sneaker – a trend with roots in the 90s that Balenciaga has made loveable.

Colour choices

Balenciaga’s creative designers are known for creative, unique and sophisticated creations that blend modern fashion with traditional haute couture. The brand aims to cater to anyone’s look, with a choice of styles, colours and fabric.

Colours and fabrics are cut from traditional mesh fabric and leather with an off-white base. There is a merger of soft pink, yellow, red and black shades, with laces that are two-toned with visible brand letters on the sides. Balenciaga display sizes on the front (or nose) of the trainers, meaning wearers can never go wrong with size selection.

The stacked soles give the sneaker the upper hand in a spectrum of colour combinations to suit preference and wardrobe presentation. The trainer works particularly well with straight-leg jeans and an oversized sweater, but its versatility styles well with a range of outfits. The bright pink colour contrasts beautifully with dark outfits.

Clear soles

The Triple S sneaker has a chunky clear sole, made from pure rubber, with the company’s logo printed on the side and a front lace-up for fastening. It is designed with a round toe and pull tab on the heel for easy wearing. The neon green sole is incredible, blended with white leather. 

Leather sneakers for hard wearing

Leather is Balenciaga’s trademark: the company makes quality products to last, and that doesn’t just apply to the clothing but to footwear too. The Triple S leather sneaker is made with careful craftsmanship and quality materials for a look that is both attractive and practical. Its almond toe and mesh panelling offer ideal air circulation.

Balenciaga has created some of the most covetable sneakers in the fashion industry, but the Triple S sneaker defies fashion trends and transcends seasons.
