WORDS BY JOSEPH FURNESS
The tech sneaker trend has officially hit its peak. The Balenciaga Track sneaker — set to (literally) be the next big thing in the sneakerverse since the Triple S — is more dad sneaker than, well, your dad’s sneakers. But it’s you that wants them, not him. Why? Demna said so.
Could you wear these on a date?
Outfitting these with a pair of straight-leg jeans and an untucked work shirt may give off the impression that you’ve already been married for a long, long time (and, as a result, might scare your date away). But we’re not saying no, we’re saying style wisely.
Could you wear these to work?
These sneakers certainly give off an ‘I’m important here so I can wear what I want’ vibe. Best reserved for those in executive roles who enjoying boasting their position (and the power that comes with it) at any given opportunity.
How do these fit?
Like a glove. We’re here for the snug fashion trends.
Instagram Caption?
Less running sneaker, more strutting sneaker.
What does my grandmother think of these?
I’m not sure I get these. Sorry Balenciaga. Xx
(Sidenote: if my grandmother doesn’t get them, they must be doing something right.)
Where can you buy these sneakers?
