I think, as many other pieces by Demna, they inspired by "gopnik" street stlye from ex-USSR Lot of dudes in Eastern Europe, in 1990-2000th wore similar looking shoes in the same way - with a bended back
Yes, Gopnik chic!! We had our own version here in the UK decades ago when the gay scene was fetishising 'chav twinks'. Before that in the 1990s, the fetishising was of skinhead punks (it went a little bit mainstream with the whole CKOne campaign-era but otherwise stayed underground strictly in the respective social scenes. I love this recontextualising, such a thrill and so funny too. It's what we come for, no?
Love them both! The mules look awesome with your jeans. I would like to get the mules when they’re a bit cheaper. Bal footwear is always challenging and i enjoy the feeling of growing to love their shoes more as you pair them with different fits. Looking forward to see how u style them over time J! ❤ love u!
Just because you said these look cartoonish… they seem to be very much inspired by the botas picudas of Mexico which are insane when you look up pictures. Killer boots
how like long do you expect these to survive? I've had shoes in past which have lasted 6 months before I had to replace them! but they weren't balenciaga 😂🥲

How is the exact difference in heel height between the two shoes?
(In centimeters)
Would you recommend going a size down?
absolutely !
Need these asap 🥲

how is the sizing on these? i’m true to size 42, should i go tts or size down?
i would take a 41! i just uploaded a vlog testing them over 2 days!
I bet you bought the Balenciaga Skirt Towel too 😂

I don’t think it’s intentional to have your foot in with the back down .
