Balenciaga's 3XL Mule goes black for this season

As it did with the Speed silhouette and the Track Sneaker, Balenciaga removes the back of another 3XL model to create the perfect mule for this summer.

There’s no doubt that the 3XL Trainer has become the most versatile shoe yet. And Demna knows it. That’s why she never stops reinventing her creations, and this time she adapts them to make them a MUST for the summer season: the 3XL Mule. After the success of his model ‘The Mud Show’ 3XL Trainer, now comes a new version completely ‘black’ in which the design and ornamentation of the original design is maintained. The only thing that changes is the back, which is now open.

This style does not feature leather, but has opted for a mesh and polyurethane construction with a worn look to match the creative style of the house. A set of laces is again placed on the instep, and a purely decorative one is placed on the toe which includes a note of caution: “The additional laces are tied around the shoes for aesthetic purposes and should be removed before wearing”. The brand’s monograms are visible on the toe cap, heel and inside the insole.
