The iconic Balenciaga Tyrex sneaker model follows its recent triple white colorway with the unveiling of a [black and red iteration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-red-colorway). The sneakers join the brand's Spring/Summer 2020 roster and adds to the rest of the vibrant colorway options such as silver and neon yellow.

The brand gives this silhouetet a split makeover with the duo tonal finish this time around. The Bred colorway uses mesh, [metallic leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-121), as well as matte rubber for textural contrast as well as tonal contrast throughout the model. Plastic and rubber can be found at the heel and it is done in a shiny finish to follow the shoe's [futuristic aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-city-sneaker). The leather is lightly worn and makes up the shoe's base foundation with clear gel elements at the mid panel.
