The Balenciaga X-Pander ‘Grey’ is an innovative sneaker that was introduced as part of Balenciaga's Spring 2021 ready-to-wear collection. Its standout feature is the suspended heel, which employs a spring-loaded mechanism to create a 40mm distance between the distressed polyurethane midsole and the sturdy rubber outsole. The upper of the shoe draws inspiration from early 2000s running shoes and showcases a weathered aesthetic, with a breathable grey mesh construction adorned with tonal synthetic overlays. The tongue proudly displays the signature 'Balenciaga' logo, while the back heel discreetly shows the shoe size.
