It’s safe to say that Balenciaga is at the top of its game right now – with other labels quickly following suit by doing a U-turn on formalwear. The brand’s latest invention? The Track trainers, which are made up of lightweight and breathable mesh with an integrated oversized sole (cool, huh?). Pieced together from 96 high-tech components, they’re cushioning and shock-absorbent for all-day comfort, and they earn you some street style points, too.
Founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga in a Basque fishing village in 1937, the iconic fashion house that shaped modern fashion is on a constant journey of re-invention. Today, Balenciaga walks the path of modernity with Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia at its reins. His ambition? "To discover the method of Cristóbal's work, his approach, how he saw a woman". Loved by all, from Vogue UK to Grazia.
