HISTORY

From the late 2000s under creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, this model exemplifies Balenciaga’s blending of technical sport references with luxury craftsmanship. Featuring hiking-inspired metal lace loops and a shearling-lined interior, the design reflects Ghesquière’s emphasis on material contrast and futurist hybridization during this era. Likely released as part of a seasonal capsule or diffusion concept focused on alpine and utilitarian silhouettes.
