Fashion is continuously evolving – these days in the most bizarre direction. Designers have gone from making top-of-the-range garments to designing pieces that the average Joe just cannot fathom wearing.
Balenciaga is one of the world-renowned luxury brands that keep shocking people with their bizarrely unique fashion pieces, which are becoming more out of this world by the day.
Their latest contribution to the fashion world — according to X page @highsnobsociety — is a pair of sneakers that look like something from a comedy movie set.
Balenciaga bad: Weird sneakers cause commotion
Balenciaga is definitely doing everything to stay unique. In 2022, their trash bag-inspired handbags shocked many — and this is because the bags literally looked like trash bags.
The luxury clothing brand allegedly unveiled its latest contribution to the fashion world, and it really is something else.
Taking to X, @highsnobsociety posted a pair of the most bizarre sneakers explaining that they are Balenciaga’s latest design.
The shoes are called “Reptile Sneakers” and are truly interesting to look at – but not exactly in a good way.
“BALENCIAGA footwear designer Qianbeini shares a look at the new ‘Reptile’ sneaker from the upcoming Winter 2024 collection,” the post was captioned.
Netizens are shook
Needless to say, social media users didn’t have many nice things to say about the shoes. Many of the accused the luxury brand of testing how far people will go in the name of keeping up with fashion.
“This them shoes the wicked witch of the east was wearing when Dorthy crushed her with a house,” one person said while another wrote:
“If you really think about it why would a high end fashion brand make reptile shoes if there aren’t reptiles living amongst us.”

Speaking to Women’s Wear Daily, she explained that they love a good fashion scandal.
