Balenciaga has revealed a series of unique portraits featuring the house’s 3XL Sneaker.
The campaign was shot by Chris Lensz and features two models in a domestic setting wearing the iconic sneakers in a monochromatic eggshell colourway.
The new footwear design exaggerates elements of an archetypical high-performance running shoe with a super-wide silhouette. Technical mesh in varying scales and thick laces add to a unique overall texture.
The shoe’s combined shape, complexity of design, and visual details create an almost illusory effect, where edges and surfaces are seemingly expanded as if with a magnifying tool. A distressed version evokes the 3XL’s original vintage inspiration.
The 3XL Sneaker is available now in Balenciaga stores and on balenciaga.com
