Fashion house Balenciaga unveils its new 3XL sneaker-mules to join its roster for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. It was unveiled as a part of the Summer 2023 show that took on a post-apocalyptic theme. Throughout the upper, it retains most of the same 3XL sneaker elements including ample laces over the forefoot, a blend of mesh and polyurethane materials, and the pre-worn aesthetic.
Visually, it has a metallic colorway palette and it can be seen detailed with contrasting tones of red that are speckled along the laces over the forefoot. It all sits on top of a pre-worn aesthetic white midsole foundation and has paneling accents throughout the shoe with mesh along the sides for breathability.
