Editorial Note Balenciaga applies its boundary-pushing approach to the Speed Sneakers, a silhouette that has redefined what a sneaker can be. Constructed from a stretch upper in black polyester and nylon, the fitted sock-style form follows the foot precisely, while the elongated toe delivers a sleek, forward profile. A geometric textured sole provides grip underfoot without adding visual weight. Worn with denim or tailored trousers. Size & Fit Fits true to size. Take your normal size. Sock-style fit, close to the foot with no closures, wraps the ankle and instep snugly. Lightweight and flexible construction with minimal bulk. Details and Care Material: 50% Polyester, 30% Nylon, 20% Rubber Closure: Slip-on, no fastenings Colour: Black Care instructions: Wipe clean with a damp cloth Frequently Asked Questions Do the Speed Sneakers fit true to size, or should I size up? They fit true to size. Because the sock-style upper has no lacing system to adjust, those between sizes should take the larger size for a comfortable fit around the instep. What works best with the Speed Sneakers? The elongated, minimal profile reads equally well with slim-cut denim and tailored trousers. The all-black finish keeps combinations clean and the silhouette undivided. How should I care for the stretch upper? Wipe the upper and sole with a lightly damp cloth after wear. Avoid submerging in water or machine washing, as this can degrade the stretch composite and cause the sock structure to lose its shape over time.
