Balenciaga Does An About Face On Dad Shoe With Slimmed Down Apex Sneaker

French luxury label Balenciaga has turned some heads with a new slim sneaker silhouette called the Apex. Made in China and described as 100 percent “leather free,” the shoe features a quilted upper and elasticated rubber tongue and two lace openings. The label’s signature double-B logo is stamped in contrasting colors on the shoe’s tongue and heel tab.

The shoe is meaningful in part because it’s made by a label known for setting trends, but also because it’s an about face on the label’s Triple S sneaker, first launched in fall 2017 and widely viewed as the engine behind the over-sized, dad shoe trend.

On social media, Balenciaga’s Apex has been roundly mocked for its resemblance to Lonsdale’s Benn soccer sneaker, a shoe priced around $50.

Offered in either black or white, Balenciaga’s version of the shoe is $550 and is available in men’s and women’s sizing on balenciaga.com.

Take a closer look at the white version of Balenciaga’s Apex sneaker below.

Scott Sasso, the founder of #10Deep, announced his Scott Sasso, the founder of #10Deep, announced his departure from the streetwear brand he established 28 years ago in 1995. Renowned for pioneering captivating graphics such as the Knuckle Ring Tee, among other iconic designs, the brand achieved success by crafting impactful designs inspired by a fusion of hip hop, NYC skate culture, and social consciousness.
 
The intro post  reads, " It is done. What happened to MeccaUSA?What happened to AlphaNumeric?
What happened to PNB?What happened to 10.Deep?
The particulars of the stories are different, but all had "partnerships" with the same company, and the results ended up being the same."

"Today my ties to 10.Deep were severed once and for all. Big bank, takes little bank. But with what goal? I'm not sure of the answer to that question is. I think of what I've seen with the other brands that share the a similar history."
