Balenciaga constantly keeps its audience on edge with outlandish designs that require a second look. Such can be said for the brand’s footwear offerings, supplying eccentric pairs that deliver something completely new. Balenciaga’s 3XL Trainer was recently covered in mud, now giving its Defender sneaker the same treatment. Denma’s dramatic model often receives humorous glances due to its billowing tire soles. The new “Worn-Out” design maintains its original outline, featuring lightweight mesh uppers with tonal leather trimmings. Copious amounts of dirt and dust conceal its bright white tone, while bold scuff marks tear away the lower perimeters. Stained laces, tongues, and liners supply additional personality alongside embossed Balenciaga branding and shoe size numbers. The pair is stacked atop its trademark jumbo-sized tire sole units caked with dry dirt and grime. Take a closer look at Balenciaga’s Defender “Worn-Out” sneaker in the gallery above. The pair is available now in-store and online via Balenciaga. Elsewhere, Dior Men’s Resort 2024 dives deep into British fashion history.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
