These New Balenciaga Sneakers Feature Unique Color-Blocked Designs

In time for the spring, a selection of new Balenciaga sneakers were unveiled, which boast retro designs that can easily be integrated into a number of unique ensembles.

One of the new Balenciaga sneakers features a cream, gray, beige, black, and blue colorway, with the latter two colors included as accents to give the otherwise neutral look some contrast. On the sides of the uppers, the designer label's branding is included on a small tag. The brand's motifs are also featured on the backs of the heels, where its double B logo is, and on the tongues, where the name of the design is written on tags with a bar codes.

The other new Balenciaga sneakers feature the same silhouette and branding, but have a more subdued colorway, with just white and gray comprising them.
