Parisian luxury fashion house Balenciaga introduces its new tonal design of the Runner sneaker model for the season. It starts off with a grey mesh at the base foundation of the shoe before it is contrasted by hits of white, blue, and yellow for a brighter look.
It also has overlaying details of silver across the shoe and boasts slightly deconstructed looks by the ankle lining section. It all rests on top of a white midsole foundation that is detailed with grey and yellow and rounded out by a black outsole. The grey tongue is detailed with branding in the form of a blue Balenciaga embroidered on top with sizing details making up the front toe section.
