The Balenciaga Triple S is many things.
Most importantly, it’s the undeniable King of Chunky Sneakers. It’s not up for debate. Others may have come before (looking at you, Raf Simons Ozweego), but a century from now when the fashion bible is cemented for all time, they will say the alien invasion of footwear was led by Balenciaga. Just ask Pharrell, Pusha T, Marc Jacobs and all the other celebrities who got theirs years ago.
That said, the others descriptors include: ugly, expensive, grotesque, high-end, reptilian and … not recommended. That’s right, we don’t recommend these shoes for everyone because we are rational people. But that rationality also make us aware that there are many of you who’ve long pined for a pair, fat-sneaker shamers be damned.
Now’s your moment, because during Mr Porter’s sitewide sale, 10 different versions of the Balenciaga Triple S are discounted 30%. In other words, you can nab a pair of history-making sneakers right now for $250 off. [Ed. note: If they don’t have your size below, try SSENSE which is also offering discounts on some Triple S sneakers.]
