With the Balenciaga Paris High Top Black sneakers, Balenciaga reinterprets the classic high-top sneaker in a radically modern way. The deliberately distressed look, combined with striking details and an unmistakable silhouette, gives the model an extraordinary design identity with high recognition value. This creates an exciting contrast between minimalist coloration and provocative streetwear aesthetics, which impressively underscores the shoe’s creative character. For this bold and distinctive design language, the Paris High Top Black sneakers receive the PLUS X AWARD in the Design category.
