This Unique Balenciaga Shoes Design Makes Netizens Geleng-geleng Head

JAKARTA - Balenciaga is again stealing attention in the fashion world with its newest product innovation. Most recently, the French fashion house launched a shoe called Zero, which is part of the fall 2025 collection.

Not like shoes in general, Zero presents a unique concept, namely if someone uses it it it looks like they don't wear shoes. Launching from Footwear News, Tuesday, December 10, 2024, Zero was introduced through a lookbook that was photographed directly by Demna Gvasalia, Creative Director of Balenciaga.

The shoes are made of only a thin sole of EVA foam material, in 3D shape that follows the shape of the legs. The shoes do not use ropes or other coverings, only attached to the heel and one notch on the thumb.

Zeros are launched in neutral colors, such as black, white, and tan. These shoes can be used with or without socks.

In the details of the inside, there are footprints and the Balenciaga logo on the side of the thumb. These Zero shoes are priced at 450 dollars or equivalent to Rp. 7.1 million.

The shape of Zero shoes launched by Balenciaga suddenly stole the attention of netizens. They couldn't stop thinking about the shoe design and the price was considered expensive.

"Designa terkonyol dan harga sehingga? Mereka benar-benar gila," kata netizen di X.

"People who buy these really don't make sense," said another.

"What the hell is this? These aren't even shoes," added another.
