With the release of Balenciaga’s Triple S and the arrival of Kanye West’s Wave Runner silhouette, the dad sneaker trend is as strong as ever. The latest brand to unveil its attempt is Zara, with the release of its new Multi-Piece Sneaker. The shoe comes with patches of different materials and colors across its upper, as well as the kind of chunky sole that is featured on all dad sneakers.

Bearing an acute likeness to the Triple S, this version comes in at £25.99 GBP (approx. $35 USD), sitting way below the actual Triple S retail price. This isn’t the first time that Zara has allegedly ripped off the legendary Paris-based brand, with the fast fashion retailer being accused of copying the Balenciaga Speed Trainer as well as the adidas Originals NMD CS1 PK earlier this year.
