Balenciaga, the renowned fashion brand, has recently revealed its latest exclusive creation: the Balenciaga Runner Sculpture. This highly sought-after piece is limited to only 20 units, making it a truly exclusive collectible for fashion enthusiasts. The Runner Sculpture takes inspiration from the popular Runner Sneaker of 2021 and transforms it into a life-sized ceramic artwork.
The creation of this innovative piece of art involved meticulous handcrafting, with each unit being individually carved, modeled, and painted using a traditional Italian maiolica technique. This attention to detail results in a sculpture that flawlessly captures the essence of a worn shoe, with textured layers, distressed edges, exposed stitching, and bubbling adhesive.
The Runner Sculpture is part of Balenciaga’s Objects collection, which extends beyond fashion and encompasses a range of timeless artworks and everyday items. Following the success of their previous release, the Balenciaga Track Sculpture crafted from silver metal, the brand is showcasing their creativity and dedication to pushing boundaries by also producing sneaker styles presented as laser-etched glass cubes.
Enthusiasts of the Balenciaga Runner Sculpture can purchase this rare item exclusively at select Balenciaga retail stores in major cities worldwide. These locations include Beijing, Beverly Hills, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Monaco, Paris, Shanghai, and Tokyo. For those unable to visit these physical stores, the sculpture is also available for purchase on Balenciaga’s webstores.
This ultra-limited edition release from Balenciaga exemplifies their commitment to artistic expression and innovation. By transcending the traditional boundaries of fashion, they consistently captivate their audience and establish themselves as trendsetters in the industry. The Balenciaga Runner Sculpture is not solely a collector’s item but also a remarkable statement piece that celebrates the intersection of fashion and art.
