The Balenciaga Holiday 2013 Collection showcases an updated version of last year's signature monochromatic sneaker.
The sneakers come in three colors—blue, red and black—and "each pair features a textured leather and suede upper" as well as a unique lacing system. The colors keep their rich consistency throughout the entire shoe, ensuring that your feet look good no matter what angle your being viewed in. These sneakers were a big hit last fall so it's a great Christmas gift from Balenciaga to not only give those of us who missed the opportunity to grab one last year but to also offer them in two additional colors.
The shoes from the Balenciaga Holiday 2013 Collection are expected to be released in select stores in the coming few days.
