Balenciaga Updates the Triple S Sneaker with Faded Palettes
Demna Gvasalia continues to add more variations of the notable Triple S sneaker model for Balenciaga, launching new faded color palettes this time around. The shoe made its original debut back in 2017 and has since grown in popularity at a global scale.
The faded colorway options arrive in the options of either black, green, beige, blue, or red. It is made using leather-free materials and layered with fabrication throughout the upper coated in a white overlay, which adds to the faded visual. This gives off an aesthetic that appears to be a thick layer of dust. It sits on top of a three-layer midsole foundation and has a toe bumper, double foam and mesh paneling, and hiking-inspired rope laces to round it all out.
