1/4 – BALMAIN

B-Court Jacquard Monogram

Another one! Another minimal hit from the French Maison but with a Jacquard design from monogram print canvas this time and the infamous Balmain‘s stamp, hardly to be missed.

Definitely, this eye-catching B-court pair – taken away from Basketball courts – is a futuristic update as it presents new colours this SS23 with delightful patterns of an original black and a lighter beige.

Besides the classic design, the Italian-made low-tops features some ritzy leather details, a chunky and warm rubber sole that’ll have you pounding the Champs Elysées streets with more captivity and finesse. Laces on the front leather insert on the tongue with Balmain logo.

2/4 – ZEGNA

MRBAILEY Suede Triple Stitch

Coming out of a initial meetup, the Triple Stitch™ MRBAILEY® constitutes a shoutout evolution of its kind for ZEGNA’s new identity. It’s Alessandro Sartori – Zegna’s artistic director – with the sneaker ‘penseur’ Daniel Bailey aka MRBAILEY, who collaborated thread to thread on the Triple Stitch silhouette.

First captured throughout the Summer 2023 Fashion Show looks, the pair features a progressive-traditional craftmanship detailed on the House’s fervent practices of conveying an exclusive style around Luxury Leisurewear. Also, the MRBAILEY® Triple Stitch are about a boundary extension to the sneakers re-imagination. Take a look at the three rubber crosses magnetism up front!

So far, you can say that it’s exterior that features suede and layers of tactile leather is most impressive. In fact, that special leather provides a carbonised effect inspired by yakisugi – a traditional wood preservation Japanese method and the result is astonishing.

3/4 – CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

Louis Junior Orlato Spikes

Continuing on its commitment towards an uncompromising luxury, the Maison Louboutin never ceases to innovate on its red-soled sneakers.

As usual, the black low-top sneaker Louis Junior Orlato re-inventes itself like any other year. The Louis Junior Spikes low-top sneaker is inspired by elegant lines intersecting with basketball and blending sporty features.

Moreover, this pair showcases perforated detailing sidewise along with the total spikes at the toe cap conveying a faithful logo reference to the Maison Louboutin.

The design put a side, the Louis Junior Orlato Spikes is crafted in calf leather and soft black leather displaying Christian Louboutin perforations. In addition, the pair presents a heel tab support and a fine topstitching on the side.

4/4 – BALENCIAGA

Defender

Defender of its name, the monster truck is the latest super-stellar innovation drop of the house Balenciaga. Almost like a big fancy tyre, Innit ?!

The beige Defender sneakers which are part of an extremely exclusive footwear collection deserve a front seat in your sneaker’s collection. On a different and interesting design note, the Defender showcases mostly a worn-out effect but at the same time brings whatever you could aspire from the label.

Mostly, one can’t miss the enormous in Balenciaga with an uber-chunky 15mm tread sole whereas its gentle colourway makes it universal to suit along with most outfits.
