Demna’s Balenciaga has skillfully redefined the fundamental nature of footwear aesthetics, journeying from the Triple S to the Bouncer and culminating in the 3XL.

Just as we considered the Cargo Sneaker from their Summer 2024 collection a significant breakthrough for the brand, Balenciaga has surpassed expectations yet again with their latest creation for Fall 2024–the 10XL.

Balenciaga 10XL

At a glance, the Balenciaga 10XL is a celebration of volume. However, upon closer inspection, iconic elements that define the brand’s other offerings come to the forefront. Building upon the XL series, this pair incorporates many of the 3XL’s panelings on the upper.

Branding receives a contemporary update, featuring the latest 3B sports icon design on the lateral sides, akin to the one found on the Cargo model. Completing the design is an exaggerated rounded outsole profile, reminiscent of the distinctive Bouncers.

Where to buy

Prior to the official release of the complete Fall 2024 collection, you can now pre-order two colorways of the Balenciaga 10XL through Balenciaga stores and balenciaga.com. Secure your pair at the retail price of US$1,490.
