Balenciaga 2011 Fall/Winter Sport Shoes

French fashion house Balenciaga has a rich heritage of cutting-edge, fashion-forward design and although they may not be winning any awards for innovation with their line of sneakers for men, the kicks have received a huge amount of acclaim as a simple, elegant and unique take on the ubiquitous high-top trainer. New for the 2011 fall/winter season comes the brand’s “Sport Shoes” in a beige-colored premium leather. Featuring a raised tongue section that is covered by a lace-up front with seven D-ring fastenings on each side, brown laces accented by rectangular silver metal pieces, and a molded brown rubber sole, the sneakers are at once both fashionable and wearable. Available now for £351 (approximately $566 USD) at LN-CC.
