Balenciaga Triple S Timeline:
the Balenciaga ‘Triple S’ trainer, first shown in Pairs in January 2017 for $975
three stacked soles which were taken from running, basketball and track shoe moulds, thus the name Triple S (for soles)

The Triple S, meanwhile, was intended to be chunky, but never ugly. “It was really absolutely a proportional exercise of footwear, and not any kind of a gimmicky play with what was ugly or not ugly in shoe design,” he said. He explained that he prefers the look of large shoes, which he finds more “stable” and “masculine,” and that creating a new silhouette is what makes a product succeed.

“I’m not part of this ugly fashion,” he added. “I never liked ugly stuff really.”

3 Things I Like
They are high fashion, have a history since 2017 to turn heads. The mid panel was modified to add the collaborative 3 stripes, would be interesting to see where they manufactured these.
They make you much taller lol
Things I would change (if any)

Not sure, it's an art design, just not something to wear every day.
Maybe if they made just an "S" not a triple sole, just a single sole. might look cool.
Sneaker Sizing
EU sizing, I probably need to go down .5 TBH to a 42 (9 US)
Comfort Rating - 5.8, its like weight training for your feet they are like 4lbs each
Aesthetic Rating 8 on those that can pull it off, 5.5 on me lol
Alternative options?
Final Thoughts
Definitely an acquired taste, but when someone puts the effort in, they can make these look pretty clean, I respect those that can do it because after having them in hand and on feet, its pretty insane.

Thank goodness you didn’t pay a dime for those.

[EVsSuck]

Those look like Filas and Nike Air Monarchs. They look like they cost no more than $25

[marcelanoryadi]

a friend of mine bought one.
i tried it was heavy to wear. Not practical for everyday use.
My friend only wore it twice, now just sitting in his shoe closet

[mythoti]

I always wanted shoes with gum already stuck to the bottom!

[lorenzobrogi]

Their forum x track silhouette is the only good design to come out of the collab

[quentinjennings]

What’s your opinion on a comfortable yet waterproof shoe? I was leaning the react Nike Pegasus trail 4 gore tex. Anything similar or better that you could recommend? Definitely want all day comfort and need them to be somewhat water proof

[ssupriyanto]

I love this pair but with blue accents

[ERob]

Gotta love the Kith warped logo tee 👌🏾

[bearatts]

I was interested in the collaboration until I saw a $350 water bottle. Then I said f that

[jameslatief]

I like the Triple S, but I'd get the regular Balenciagas rather than the Adidas version.

[thesilvergloves]

Of course they sent Hes a pair because no one wants them!

[karenk]

Not sure perhaps if it was black I’m not feeling high end combined with sportswear and I’m not really a fan of Balenciaga and high fashion I just don’t get it it’s weird.

[tcv]

I rock a size 43, and I’m a us 10, 5😂. Good luck with triple socking bro😜

[IanHilsonTO]

People still trying to buy Balenciaga after their latest PR debacle??

[thedawapenjor]

I swear I've seen these at Walmart

[toualee]

Looks like something you get from Ross or Burlington

[sir_squonks_alot_castro]

I would buy these but they should have been priced at 700 especially with the synthetic material

[LE_NOMAD]

Whatever is going on is Balenciaga's fault and not Adidas. They can't catch a break.

[DontPanicrs]

These are terrible.

Also didn’t balenciaga just get some backlash for having kids and bdsm stuff in a photoshoot? I’m good on adidas and balenciaga.
