Balenciaga is launching a £500 range of trainers… but shoppers think they look like ‘scruffy lost property’ shoes
The sports-style shoes are yet to hit the shops yet, but they've already got customers talking
FASHION lovers aren't too convinced by Balenciaga's latest designs.
The Spanish luxury brand is launching a range of trainers, but they've left shoppers feeling divided.
Despite the fact they won't be on sale until later this month, Balenciaga's Triple S range has already sparked discussion on social media.
The £605 retro-looking trainers feature lace-up detailing and come in a variety of different colours.
They also feature an extremely chunky sole which is unusual for the catwalk.
After taking a look at the upcoming collection, Twitter users have passed their verdict on the bold design.
One fashion fan said: "I'm torn.
"The Balenciaga sneakers are tough, BUT they also look like an old ass pair of shoes that my mum keeps in a box in the garage."
This was one of the more optimistic reviews, as others certainly didn't hold back with their criticisms.
One Twitter user said: "£500 for these new Balenciaga's and they really be looking like shoes found in lost property at school."
Another agreed: "Why are people paying £500 for these new Balenciaga's when you can find them in lost property at school for £0???"
It's not the first time that Balenciaga have hit the headlines with their barmy fashion items.
The luxury brand recently flogged a fake paper shopping bag for £876, and it's proved so popular that it's already sold out on some websites.
Some fashion lovers compared a £1,595 Balenciaga vest to a life jacket.
And people ridiculed the retail giant for selling a tote that looks exactly like a BLANKET bag.
