Italian fashion house Balenciaga released the new Kid Speed Trainer -- an all-white take on the brand's famous shoe design that is made specifically for children.
The shoes feature a minimal look, with a sleek sock-like makeup and a stark white color scheme to create an overall luxurious look. The popular sneaker silhouette is famous for being comfortable and foot-conforming, while still being fashion-forward and unique. Made in sizes for babies, toddlers and kids, the new sneakers have a bold black sole and the brand's iconic logo on the back heel.
The fresh white version of the Kid Speed Trainer from Balenciaga will only be available for a limited time online, starting at about $309 a pair.
