Luxury fashion house Balenciaga introduces the new Laced Sole Leather Derby Shoes for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The unexpected design element is spotlighted at the midsole area, where there is the incorporation of laces -- this concept was led by Demna Gvasalia. The classic leather silhouette feature hiking laces through the foundational component that slightly recalls a chain-wrapped aesthetic.
The dress shoes are available in two colorway options of either black or green, with the contrasting laced sole in blue or orange. The uppers are constructed from premium leather materials with the lace around the rounded roe and enclosure area for adjustability. The chunky midsoles are complete in black and the multicolored whipstitch delivers contrasting elements. The Laced Sole Leather Derby Shoes are now available for purchase online at MatchesFashion and Browns.
