Balenciaga introduces Tyrex sneakers

Introduced in the Balenciaga Summer 20 runway show on male models, the newest Balenciaga sneaker, the Tyrex, made for men and women will be available  to buy, in limited quantities, at selected stores worldwide and on Balenciaga.com from January 2020 on.

The Tyrex, is created with an asymmetrical, sinuous network of athletic elements to form the silhouette of another type of shoe, one worn to work or special events. Its complex makeup also recalls the natural web of muscles beneath the skin, combined with the musculature within high performing sneakers.

The Tyrex upper is leather-free, made with a system of highly resistant materials, affecting a sophisticated machine and a living organism at once, while referencing the contours of a welted dress shoe. The outsole forms a shock- absorbing infinity symbol-like shape.
