Balenciaga has managed to make the world’s ugliest trainers into a status symbol.
What they started, Yeeze and Louis Vuitton have copied.
Unless you’ve got a pair of platformed dad pumps on, you’re no one.
And unless you’ve got a spare £600 lying around, chances are you’ll remain a no one for some time to come.
Or at least that was the case until Topshop decided to democratise ugly trainers, once and for all.
The high street giant has just launched their own version of the designer trainers – and for a smidgen of Balenciaga’s price.
