Balenciaga's take on the Stan Smith puts a heavily distressed, worn-out finish over the tennis shoe's familiar shape: the leather upper is scuffed and aged rather than left crisp, and the perforated three-stripe rows and heel tab that mark the original design are still visible underneath the treatment. This white and green version pairs a mostly white upper with a green heel tab, echoing the classic court-shoe colorway even as the finishing pushes it toward something rougher. It retails for $950.
The pairing itself debuted on Balenciaga's runway, where the distressed Stan Smiths appeared alongside the rest of the collection. Balenciaga's typical language leans toward oversized, deconstructed silhouettes, and this treatment pushes the same idea onto a shoe usually defined by a clean, minimal white leather upper, aging it artificially before it ever reaches a foot.
