Balmain go futuristic.
Balmain take futuristic to the extreme as they show off yet another iteration of the divisive “Unicorn” sneaker.
Revealed on Instagram via Safa Sahin- Balmain’s Head of Sneaker Design- the new iteration of the “Unicorn” sneaker comes in a triple black colourway and keeps the design style of the other previously teased pairs. The shoe sees a mixture of rubberised and matted materials alongside a glossy finish to provide a thoroughly futuristic aesthetic, with the sneakers’ pointed toe and swirling design really setting the pair apart. Some central features include an oversized cushioned suspension sole, a dual lacing system, as well as a branded lace lock and standard Balmain insignia.
The Balmain “Unicorn” sneaker rollout is heating up, so stay tuned to PAUSE for more information. Check out an on-feet look to the side of this article.
