The Sneaker That Redefined Luxury Footwear
Founded in 1919 by Spanish couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga and established in Paris in 1937, Balenciaga has spent more than a century reshaping the silhouette of modern fashion. The Triple S continues that legacy. Unveiled in 2017 under then-creative director Demna Gvasalia, it arrived as a deliberate rebellion against the minimal, low-profile trainers that defined the era, and it single-handedly ushered in the chunky sneaker movement that has shaped luxury footwear ever since.
What Makes the Triple S Iconic
The name says it all: the 'S' stands for sole. Balenciaga's designers took moulds from a running shoe, a basketball shoe and a track shoe, then stacked them into one dramatic, layered platform. The result is an exaggerated 6.5cm sole that delivers height, presence and surprising all-day comfort. With its sculptural proportions and unmistakable layered profile, the Triple S balances raw sportiness with high-fashion attitude, making it one of the most recognisable sneakers of the past decade.
Style the Triple S Your Way
The beauty of this silhouette lies in its versatility. Worn with cropped denim or tailored trousers, it grounds an outfit with confident, street-led ease. For those drawn to the house's wider footwear story, our edit of Balenciaga shoes showcases the labels signature chunky soles and runway-led design across every silhouette. Complete the look with an accessory from our Balenciaga bags collection, where structured leathers and standout hardware echo the same bold, architectural sensibility.
