Balenciaga Sneaker Sculpture

Between five-toed shoes as well as shoes that, according to Cardi B, look like socks, Balenciaga has dropped many unique and almost weird shoes. Now, one of its newest sneaker designs is a shoe that you can’t even wear. The shoe, technically a sculpture, was designed to celebrate Balenciaga’s popular Track.2 sneakers. Oh and, it costs $8,790.
