Balenciaga Speed Trainer
Less is more when it comes to design — or so we've been told. The Balenciaga Speed Trainer puts that rule to the test. Made in Italy and resembling a lost prop from a '70s sci-fi production, they have a knit sock for an upper, a textured memory sole, and not much else. They weigh in at just over half a pound, so they're certainly on the lighter side of things, and while the name suggests they'd be good for active use, it's up to you how "active" you want to get in all-white sneakers that cost as much as a decent TV.
