The Hamptons Sneaker by Balenciaga draws inspiration from classic skateboarding footwear, showcasing an all-leather design with raw edges, graffiti-inspired laces, a vintage finish, and a prominent 3B logo applique.
With the launch of the Hamptons Sneaker, Balenciaga is making a bold entrance into the skate shoe market, signaling its evolution from a label known primarily for couture and runway fashion to one that embraces a culture that has expanded well beyond its underground origins.
The design of the Hamptons Sneaker pays homage to the chunky, uncomplicated silhouette that characterized early 2000s skate shoes, reminiscent of the Emerica Reynolds model. This choice reflects skateboarding's transformation from a subculture into a significant market that commands both style influence and commercial appeal. Available in a variety of colorways for $890.
