The Balenciaga Space Shoe Silver takes one of the house's most polarizing Spring Summer 2022 runway pieces and dresses it in a sleek metallic finish, giving Demna's futuristic derby reinterpretation an even more otherworldly presence. Molded from a single piece of injected rubber, the silhouette carries an elongated, pointed toe and an angular heel that meets at a single sharp point, creating architectural sculpting along the side profile that genuinely feels pulled from another era entirely. A 5mm arch and slip on construction keep the design functional despite its dramatic shape.
The Balenciaga logo sits embossed directly onto the exterior, a subtle branding touch against an otherwise sculptural silhouette that speaks for itself. First debuted on the SS22 red carpet before rolling out in black colorways, this silver edition pushes the shoe's reflective, almost liquid metal quality even further, making it one of the standout pieces from Balenciaga's most talked about footwear drop in recent memory. It remains a genuine conversation piece for collectors who value fashion as much as footwear.
The Balenciaga Space Shoe Silver was released on December 5, 2022 with a retail price of $1190.
