Update: No other than former footballer Peter Crouch has posted a picture of the brand-new Balenciaga football boots on social media. He was probably sent the boots by Balenciaga.
Update: The first-ever Balenciaga football boots have been released. With it, the brand showed off two new colorways - Fluo Yellow & Fluo Pin (The red colorway is not available to buy yet), while we also have an official features list - the boots are made in China.
Balenciaga Football Boots Launched In 4 Colorways
Fashion brand Balenciaga has revealed its first-ever football boots, and they are classic yet pretty expensive.
Just some weeks ago, Balenciaga released a set of football kits that outstanding features is its price - $780 for a single jersey.
Balenciaga First Football Boot
Here are the new Balenciaga Sneaker boots.
The first football shoes from Balenciaga have a very classic monocolor design. Balenciaga's first soccer boots come without any colorful details but just have two brandings on them - the Balenciaga lettering on the tongue and the Balenciaga logo on the heel.
In fact, the design of the new Balenciaga Sneaker cleats reminds us of the cleats of Italian brand Diadora.
Tech-wise, Balenciaga's new soccer boots are not innovative but also not totally classic, as you would think at first glance.
The first soccer boots from Balenciaga do NOT have a leather upper but are made from "technical, leather-free materials"- Polyurethane. The first boots from Balenciaga have a big classic tongue with an elastic strap and a classic sole plate. Classic elasticized tongue houses the front of the sneaker, while round-spiked polyurethane soles are a nod to the traditional soccer boot.
the design also looks A LOT like @Diadoraofficial Totti signature cleats (for the record these were some of my favorite cleats EVER). remove the gold from these.... pic.twitter.com/SBSujo9sBV
