One thing is certain thus far — Balenciaga understands the allure of the unusual. Where others see an imperfection, the fashion house looks at it with satisfaction. 

Their newly launched Cargo Sneakers embodies this idea wholly. With its unsuspecting appearence, it only subtly demands attention for its wearer by its boast an exaggerated silhouette; a way only creative director Demna knows how. It even comes in a distinctly worn-out effect, and its these touches of character and lived-in feel that help add to its unique charm.

But form aside, the sneakers were made for actual wearing. A combination of microfiber and mesh offers both comfort and breathability, complementing the relaxed and unpretentious nature of its design. And if it does not scream Balenciaga enough, a logo engraved on a metallic plate on its upper side, and on the outsole, back, and tongue makes it known that the idea of being big and loud can also be effortless cool, and sometimes, comfortable too.
