Extravagant Space Shoe Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Balenciaga's Runway-Debuted Shoe Features an Interesting Silhouette

— February 6, 2022 — Luxury
Known for its daring and often puzzling designs, Balenciaga debuted its new space shoe on the runway. The silhouette is part of the Spring/Summer 2022 season and currently, it is appearing online for those who want to place pre-orders globally.

The Space Shope is decisively futuristic, with an elongated pointy toe that may raise some eyebrows. The design is "described to be a modern interpretation of a derby." The silhouette itself is very elegant, slightly edgy with great definition. The name of the brand is imprinted subtly in small letters on the side of the piece. Retailing at a whopping $875 USD, the futuristic high-fashion footwear is made out of a single mold of injected rubber and is offered in two finishes—one matte and one shiny.
