Some people say the new sneakers look nothing less like luxury fashion, but for the homeless.
Balenciaga, the luxury fashion house, has debuted a new range of damaged shoes dubbed “Paris Sneaker.
“
Following the launch of the couture house’s new Paris sneaker, pictures of horribly damaged, degraded shoes taken for the brand by photographer Leopold Duchemin have gone viral, eliciting a range of opinions online.
The sneakers are constructed of fully-destroyed cotton and rubber with ribs all over the cloth, according to the official website.
Only 100 pairs of “very ruined” sneakers will be auctioned for $1,850 each, according to the fashion label (N1,091,500). On the Balenciaga website, non-limited edition, less roughed-up versions are priced between 5 and 5, depending on the design.
