The men's mid top sneakers in red mark the luxury brand’s first foray into basketball-inspired footwear. Debuting alongside the streamlined looks of Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, this sneaker blends high-fashion aesthetics with athletic heritage.

Designed under the creative direction of Demna, the Basketball Sneaker embodies Balenciaga’s signature ability to reinterpret cultural influences and reframe luxury through a bold, avant-garde lens. While its design pays homage to iconic basketball silhouettes, it also introduces a sculptural, futuristic feel reminiscent of Nike’s Foamposite sneaker.

With its statement-making look and high-fashion detailing, the Balenciaga Basketball Sneaker cements itself as both a collectible and a wearable piece of contemporary design.
