Having taken the worlds of footwear and fashion by storm, Balenciaga‘s Track Trainer has received several eye-popping makeovers. None can hold up to the latest creation, however, an iteration elevated with an LED light embedded in the heel.

An otherwise unassuming “Triple Black” rendition of the Track Trainer has been elevated with perhaps the most covetable detail of all. Ever since light-up sneakers promised clout in pre-school, one could posit that the head-turning sneakers have been associated with a certain level of insouciance reserved only for those with the confidence to rock shoes adorned with flashing lights. Combine that instant appeal with the status symbol of a Balenciaga sneaker and it could be argued that the newest Track Trainer is one of the luxury world’s most covetable kicks to date — if a chunky, battery-powered dad shoe is to your taste.

Admire the limited edition $995 USD sneaker on Balenciaga’s website, and head to the luxury label’s retail stores to try it on in person.

Most recently, Balenciaga issued new editions of its ultra-sleek eyewear.
