Editorial Note Balmain applies its Parisian appetite for bold construction to the 'Cosmic Dust' sneaker.

Snug through the midfoot with a structured upper that holds its shape through wear. Technical synthetic construction with minimal give; those between sizes should size up. Details and Care Material: 52% Polyurethane, 48% Polyamide Sole: Vibram rubber outsole Closure: Rope clip Colour: Green (bicolor) Care instructions: Wipe clean with a damp cloth Made in: China Frequently Asked Questions Do these fit true to size, or should I size up? These fit true to size for most wearers. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up, as the technical synthetic upper offers minimal stretch compared to leather or canvas alternatives. What makes the Vibram sole worth noting on a fashion sneaker? Vibram is an independent Italian sole manufacturer trusted by both technical footwear brands and luxury houses for its grip and durability. Its presence here means the outsole performs well on varied surfaces, not just smooth city pavement, and resists wear significantly longer than standard synthetic soles found at this price tier. How should I clean and maintain these sneakers? Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging in water or machine washing, as this can compromise the rope clip closure mechanism and the bonding between the technical layers.
