Whether you're into this kick or not, the Triple S Trainers are undoubtedly a pair that's hard to ignore. Its unprecedented design coupled with its successful attempt to theatricalize the latest sneaker trend has most definitely captured your attention, whether you like it or not. This kick took cues from the 90s trend of chunky shoes, combined it with your grandpa's vintage sneakers and ran with it. It resulted in an out of this world looking sneaker, prompting some consumers to dub it as merely a futuristic kick.

History of the Balenciaga Triple S Trainers

Balenciaga introduced a stripped version of the Triple S sneaker in 2018 with an aim for easier pairing with everyday wear. This newer iteration features fewer overlays and simpler lines than its predecessor. In exchange for the multi-material upper and vibrant color schemes are mesh with nubuck overlays and fewer color contrasts and brandings, giving a more minimal aesthetic. The shoe also displays a barcode and the size on its tongue tag.
