Balenciaga Sneakers products for sale | eBay

When the Balenciaga speed trainer was released in November 2016, the fashion world was a bit shocked. Some people were even skeptical. Balenciaga wasn\’t known for sneakers at the time, and the speed trainer was described as looking like a scuba shoe or nothing more than a sock with a rubber sole. Other people disagreed with the criticism, calling the speed trainer an iconic entrée into the sneaker fashion universe. Almost as soon as it was released, the speed trainer became the must-have item for many fashionistas and sneakerheads. Thanks to the early adoption of the sneakers by celebrities like Future and Bryson Tiller, suddenly everyone wanted to get their hands on a pair.

These Balenciaga sock shoes are extremely unique. Each shoe features a comfortable stretch net stock that makes up the upper part of the shoe, and there are no laces. The Balenciaga logo is located on the outer side panel of the upper near the toes, and there’s one on the rear area sole as well. It has a textured sole that comes in black or white. The sole features memory sole technology and great shock absorption, adjusting to your feet as you walk while providing a comfortable surface for your feet. It weighs about 240 grams (half a pound), making it a light shoe that provides plenty of bounce and cushioning as you move about. It has a 10-millimeter arch, and it\’s made out of polyamide and Elastan. This shoe is available in a low top as well as a high-top version. There were limited edition sneakers that featured laces, but that line was ultimately discontinued.

The shoe is extremely comfortable to walk in. In spite of the fact that the shoes are laceless, the sock-like fit hugs your ankle, making you feel very secure as you walk.
