Sneaker-Inspired Slides

The Balenciaga Track Slides are a New Take on a Popular Footwear Style

The Balenciaga Track Slides are a new casual footwear option from the brand that is inspired by the sneaker style of the same name that seeks to extend the laid-back aesthetic. The slides are characterized by a complex upper section that is inspired by the human anatomy and boasts a multi-paneled design across the entirety of the style. This is achieved with neoprene and rubber, while the sandals come in a triple black color option to enhance their demure style with varying textures of black material.

The Balenciaga Track Slides are priced at $650 and come as one of the latest casual footwear styles created by a high-fashion brand to help satisfy consumer interest in products that highlight a distinctly laid-back look.
