Balenciaga‘s latest addition to its Spring/Summer 2020 lineup is a glossy black pair of Zen Taekwondo sneakers, a follow-up to last month’s crisp white iteration.

The sleek silhouette has been given a sleek triple black design. A tonal “Balenciaga” logo is stamped at the top of the tongue, followed by rows of angular stitching that covers the forefoot. The shoe’s laces are tucked under the upper tongue tab for a clean and tidy look. Additional “BB” branding is placed at the upper section of the backstay, complemented by a long arched panel that stretches from the heel to the midsection. All of these details rest over an ultra-thin outsole that’s been molded for optimal mobility.

Balenciaga’s Zen Taekwondo sneakers in black are currently available on LUISAVIAROMA’s website for $555 USD.

In case you missed it, here’s a look at a striking red iteration of Balenciaga’s Drive Sneakers.
