Shoe or just shoo away? Women's limited edition - Paris High top sneaker has created the buzz over the internet for its weird burnt look. The Luxury fashion house Balenciaga is nothing less than being trolled by netizens for launching its overly spoiled-like sneakers, dubbed "Paris Sneaker".
If you could spot it there on the product's representative image - the brand's logo is inked at the end of the toe and its graffiti logo in colour contrast on the sole. The severely tattered, distressed shoes went viral with netizens wondering whether the brand just burnt the footwear before launch.
According to Balenciaga's official website, the sneakers are made using fully-destroyed cotton and rubber with ribs all over the fabric. Check below to know about what's in the pair of shoes:
