Balenciaga works in collaboration with Birkenstock as its latest endeavor and together, the duo presents the new Balenci-Stock silhouette. It was unveiled as a part of the fashion house's Spring 2024 collection as it merges elements of the Sunday Mule by Balenciaga and the Boston by Birkenstock together.
The shoes are highlighted by elements drawn from Vibram's toe shoes. The result sees inspiration from the human foot at the edges of the shoes, it appears to be peaking through slightly. Other details of the new seasonal shoes include the tonal buckle around the forefoot and the branding that is seen on the insoles applied in a contrasting hue, reading "BALENCIAGA." The Balenci-Stock is constructed from both suede and leather materials.
