Balenciaga Triple S
Founded in 1919 by Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga, the house has always understood volume and proportion, and the Balenciaga Triple S carries that thinking into modern footwear. Introduced in 2017, the layered multi-panel sole and oversized silhouette made the Triple S sneakers one of the defining shoes of the era. At MARAIS you can shop the Balenciaga Triple S in white and other finishes, a chunky trainer that reads equally at home with tailoring or denim.

The House of Balenciaga
Cristobal Balenciaga opened his first atelier in San Sebastian in 1919 before moving the house to Paris in 1937, where his sculptural tailoring earned the admiration of couturiers across the city. That founding respect for structure and silhouette still runs through the label today, most visibly in its footwear. Under creative director Demna, Balenciaga reframed the luxury sneaker, and the Triple S became the piece that led the shift toward bold, exaggerated soles.
Why the Triple S Endures
The Triple S takes its name from its triple-stacked sole, a moulded blend of foam and rubber that lifts the foot and gives the shoe its unmistakable stance. Distressed detailing, tonal panelling and a heavy runner shape make it a statement rather than a background piece. It has become a cornerstone of the wider Balenciaga men's shoes line, and sits alongside the equally in-demand women's Balenciaga shoes edit.

Balenciaga Triple S FAQs
Do Balenciaga Triple S sneakers fit true to size?
The Triple S runs slightly large, so many wearers size down half a size. The chunky sole adds height and a roomy feel, so if you are between sizes the smaller option usually gives the cleaner fit.
Is the Balenciaga Triple S available in white?
Yes. The Balenciaga Triple S white is one of the most requested finishes, and stock at MARAIS rotates across white and tonal colourways for both women and men.
What should I wear with Balenciaga trainers?
Balenciaga trainers balance both tailoring and casual denim. Their volume grounds a slim trouser or lets an oversized silhouette feel considered rather than sporty.
