What happens when you fuse wearability with innovative design and forward-thinking luxury? You get Balenciaga’s newest sneaker, the Monday—a modular take on lifestyle-based everyday footwear, and the House’s first-ever all-leather hybrid shoe. 

Sneakers are no new feat to Balenciaga; whether it’s the Speed, Triple S, or Track sneaker, the brand continues to play a notably influential role when it comes to footwear, and this new unveiling is no exception. 

It’s a classic sneaker with architectonic and technical elements that create a shoe that can dynamically fit the every day without looking monotonously plain. The silhouette is sleek, an athletic style fit, with the thick curving structural sole that maintains the edgy streetwear legacy Balenciaga assumes. 

On the upper, patches of leather are deconstructed and layered, with experimentally exposed stitching and worn-in raw edges, a collision of retro and modern designs. Balenciaga’s signature rubber 3B Sports Icon completes the shoe, amplifying the revived classic feeling this new sneaker portrays. 

It’s not just for looks, however, the new sneaker’s key features, like the ultra-lightweight sole and fitted leather upper, keep the wearer comfortable while being stylistically versatile. 

The Balenciaga Monday shoes will be available in white, black, pink, yellow, and blue at Balenciaga stores worldwide and on Balanciaga.com.
