First unveiled back in October during the spring/summer 2022 runway show, Balenciaga’s ‘The Defender’ sneaker is finally preparing its retail release.
Balenciaga recently released the first official look of its new ultra-chunky sneaker. The first release will come in khaki and black colorways. No official retail price or release date has been provided, but expect a spring 2022 release. Previous Balenciaga sneakers have typically fell between the $500-$1,000 USD price range so expect these to be somewhere around there.
Take the first official look at the Balenciaga ‘Defender’ sneaker below. What are your thoughts on the shoe? revolutionary? too bulky? or just plain dumb? Let us know in the comments!
