Ross Dwyer 2018: the year “dad shoes” went mainstream. From Nike’s M2K Tekno to the Nike Wmns Air Max Oketo Wntr Pink Quartz Red Bronze White, seemingly every brand threw their hat in the chunky footwear ring — but nobody did it quite like Balenciaga. Their massive Triple-S — a name derived from the triple-stacked midsoles the shoe features — turned heads and ignited a firestorm of controversy around the world with its maximalist design and high price point. Now, the shoe everyone loves to hate (or hates to love) has surfaced in a new royal blue color with orange, black, and red hits plus pre-weathered detailing. The triple sole is on full display with each unit featuring a different color, and the look is rounded out by Balenciaga branding on the midfoot, the shoe’s size embroidered on the toebox, and red squiggly laces. If you’re a proponent of the bulky kicks, they’re available now at Bergdorf Goodman for an upscale price of $895 USD.
