No, they are not the tennis shoes that were hanging from the power lines. This is the new line of the fashion house Balenciaga, which they recently presented and did not leave anyone indifferent, except Internet users. The images of these shoes with their dirty and worn appearance barely circulated, whose price amounts to 42 thousand pesos, and the memes they did not stop making fun of these eccentric designs.
“ALWAYS IN FASHION WITH MY RIPPED TENNIS”
The observation that users made the most was due to the destroyed appearance of the sneakers. “My Balenciaga sneakers have arrived,” he wrote in Twitter the user @BlackMiston and he accompanied his message with an image of some very old tennis shoes, full of dirt and that are obviously not from the Balenciaga brand.
“Someone: What beautiful Balenciaga sneakers! Me: They are my converse from 4 years ago”, commented a user joking about the scratches and dirt that now represent a luxury.

Oh dog”, published the user @ isrenz1 next to a photo of some sneakers covered with adhesive tape that imitate the model with the name of the firm, written in marker on the side of the shoe.
“JORJÁIS LOOKS BETTER”
