Luxury fashion house Balenciaga introduces the new tonal iteration of the futuristic Tyrex sneaker model in a Triple White finish for the season. The shoe was originally designed by Demna Gvaslia himself for the Spring/Summer 2020 roster in bright colorways such as Fluo Yellow and metallic silver.
This time, the shoe is constructed from mesh, nylon, faux leather, as well as rubber -- all of this panels over one another for a textural contrast on an all-white finish. The heel unit, the fabrication, and the rope lacing system are also complete in a clean white hue for a minimal aesthetic all throughout. The uppers have the signature toe badge in black and silver details for a subtle contrast in terms of hue.
