Truth and Reality

Even if you are getting it for free, you would not want to wear such shoes, which this company is selling for Rs 1 lakh 42 thousand

Balenciaga, one of the well-known luxury brands, is making headlines for its “totally worn out” sneakers. These shoes, which became a topic of discussion among the people, were launched under its “Paris sneaker” collection. Sold in two styles – the high-top, and the backless mule – the bad sneakers range in price from $495 (approximately ₹48,000) to $1,850 (approximately ₹1.44 lakh). And guess what, the worse the shoe, the higher the price. You will have to spend the most on shoes that are excessively cut, scratched and dirty. These limited edition shoes – only 100 pairs are available – are part of a new Balenciaga campaign that says these “sneakers are meant to be worn for a lifetime.”

The official website of Balenciaga reads about this new range as “a retooled classic design, with mid-century athleticism and always-on, casual wear. Available in black, white, or red in white.” Comes with rubber sole and toe. Which adds to the look. They have been deliberately made to look like this.”

After seeing this collection of shoes, Twitter users were also surprised and could not stop themselves from sharing their views about it.

People on social media platforms started asking, “Will you wear these?”

Taking a jibe at the luxury brand, a user shared a picture of a rusty Barbie doll and wrote, “Nueva Barbie Balenciaga”.

For some people, it’s the “worst sneaker” ever.

Another user shared a postcard featuring the limited edition “Paris sneaker” and introducing the latest footwear to the world.
