Collier Schorr’s visual strategy for the Balenciaga Hamptons sneaker campaign creates a sophisticated tension between the footwear’s skate-inspired origins and its elevated execution. The design thoughtfully references 1990s skate culture through its proportions and graffiti-adorned laces, while subverting expectations via unexpected material treatments and the distinctive placement of Balenciaga’s 3B Sports Icon branding.
The luxury fashion label offers the Hamptons sneaker in a range of colorways, including white, grey, and yellow, off-white and red, brown and lilac, dark blue and grey, and black. This offering is certainly distinguished by the successful translation of utilitarian footwear into the luxury sphere without sacrificing the authenticity of its streetwear influences.
