Latest Footwear from the Parisian Fashion House

A year of seismic proportions, these last few months have been unforgettable for many reasons, but one offering that particularly stands firmly on the greener side of 2020 is ESPN’s ‘The Last Dance’. Capturing a stellar Chicago Bulls team of yesteryear and Michael Jordan’s rising star, the docuseries saw many of us fall headfirst into a love affair with basketball, and apparently, high fashion is on side too, as Balmain has seemingly proved this season.

Aptly dubbed ‘B-Ball’ sneakers, the Parisian fashion house’s latest footwear delivery catapults courtside kicks into a whole new dimension. Looking like they’ve landed from the year 2050, these futuristic hi-tops are destined to command attention within the cityscape. They’re wrapped in a wearable milky colourway, coming complete in a juxtaposing bulbous yet razor-sharp construction.

 

 

Opting for supple calfskin in the upper, the Balmain B-Ball design possesses a pairing of designer credentials, including a large brand patch to the tongue and inky-black stamping to the foot strap. In addition to a range of status-driven accents, the sneaker also sees functional elements at various positions, with a handy heel pull to the reverse and breathable perforations situated at the vamp. To finish, three-dimensional overlays draw attention at the midsole, while a subtle ‘B’ emblem resides subtly to the toe.
