BALMAIN

B-East suede, mesh and neoprene trainers

Olivier Rousteing often looks to the past to inspire his creations at Balmain, and the B-East trainers are no exception. Drawing on old-school sporty silhouettes, this pair’s nostalgic aesthetic is modernised with details that propel them into futuristic realms. We’re talking a bold mesh base, caged suede overlays and high-shine trims. And that’s before we even get to the super-chunky, sculpted midsole, which mimics the claws of a ‘b-east’ at the sides.
