£615 for possibly the ugliest trainers I’ve ever seen

[JacobReesMogadishu]

Sock like knit, beige, textured oversized sole. What’s not to like?

Though I fully admit I’m not the most stylish person myself and possibly these are bang on trend (one which has passed me by). I think they look like camel hooves!

I don't like them, but they look like they might be really comfortable.

If they cost about £25, I would possibly consider wearing something similar when I have to walk a long way (I'm talking 10K+) but I think it's ridiculous to treat them as a fashion item. I'm kind of curious to know what the sort of people who'd pay £600 for them would wear with them - equally overpriced tracky bottoms?

I was jostled towards someone wearing a black pair a few months ago. She looked terrified and exclaimed with alarm while jumping out of the way. maybe dont spend a months rent on shit shoes then , or keep them in a glass cabinet in the front room.

Money can't buy style 🤷🏽‍♀️

I guessed they would be these too!

So far I've seen a yummy mummy type wearing the nude pair on the school run and a bloke in a black pair.

The nude ones remind me of when ice skaters wear thick tights that cover their boots.

OMG they're awful! And I like ugly trainers...

They're like the Innovations catalogue meets Star Trek.

They’re foul. Maybe the designers at Balenciaga (are they Balenciaga??) are sitting around having a right old laugh about anyone being silly enough to buy them.

Do you think maybe with utterly-ugly fashion items, the reason people are drawn to them is as if to prove they themselves are gorgeous enough to get away with deliberately making themselves look unattractive? I can sort of imagine a young and extraordinarily beautiful person looking ok in those shoes whereas the rest of us ordinary mortals would obviously look ridiculous.

Eww

Apparently ugly fashion is a whole thing now...

They're super bad but everything Balenciaga makes at the moment is fugly. I don't get streetwear really though, not sure I am the target market!

In normal times I work round the corner from UAL with lots of young fashion types and see a lot of sneaker monstrosities. Basically as trainers go the more it looks like a neon fungus has grown on your foot the more fashun it is.

Gross. Saw a celebs daughter who I think is about 10 wearing them on Insta this morning. They look like socks.

Those look like something you'd get on the NHS!!

Can I add these as an uglier contender?!

Balenciaga has never been the same since Nicholas Ghesquiere left.

They’re having a laugh, you’d have to pay me £625 for them.
The yeezy ones look like The shoe covers (plastic bags) that pool attendants wear over their shoes near the pool.

Monstrously hideous.
Even worse than yeeezys (so?!) and that is saying something.

Yes, they reminded me a bit of all the shit Kanye West Yeezey stuff. He’s a fan of that horrid beige shade.

What are you supposed to wear them with?

My 15 year old granddaughter has asked her mum for balenciagas for one of her Christmas presents . I really hope that they aren't that ugly !

@speakfriendandenter They look like seashells, why the fuck would you wear those on your feet though?
