What We Buy
Balenciaga Sneakers We Buy
Balenciaga’s sneakers sit between luxury and streetwear, and resale follows both. Big, loud silhouettes like the Triple S and Track set the trend; quieter models depend more on condition.
Triple S
The stacked triple sole from 2017 that started the chunky-sneaker wave. Early pairs were made in Italy and later ones in China; the label tells us which you have.
Track
Layered nylon, mesh and rubber on an oversized sole. Track and Track.2 pairs without split overlays or torn mesh do best.
Speed Trainer
The knit sock sneaker. Knit pills and stretches with wear and the sole yellows, so unworn and lightly worn pairs bring the strongest offers.
Defender
The tire-tread sole from 2022. Heavy and hard to fake well, but the tread wears unevenly, so we look at the outsole closely.
3XL
The pre-distressed runner. Factory distressing is part of the design, so we tell real wear apart from the intended look.
Runner and Paris
The Runner’s layered, frayed upper and the Paris sneaker’s destroyed canvas are made to look worn. We check the construction and labels rather than judging the scuffs.
Pricing
What Moves a Balenciaga Offer
Luxury sneakers lose value faster than handbags, so the details matter.
- Model
- The Triple S, Track and limited releases lead. Quieter models and widely distributed colorways bring less.
- Where it was made
- Early Italian-made Triple S pairs are the most sought-after. Later pairs say Made in China, which is normal for the model.
- Condition
- Chunky soles collect dirt in every layer, and knit stretches. Clean, unstretched pairs get noticeably better offers.
- Size
- Balenciaga uses EU sizing and fits differently from Nike. We go by the size on the label.
- Box and dust bags
- Bring the box, dust bags, spare laces and any cards. They matter more on luxury sneakers than on most others.
Not sure which version you have? The label inside the shoe shows the size, the country of manufacture and the product code. Text a photo of it to 917-608-8939.

Get Ready
Before You Bring Them In
A soft brush and mild soap go a long way on mesh and rubber. Skip the washing machine; it can separate layered soles.
- Brush out the dirt between the sole layers
- Bring the box, dust bags and spare laces
- Bring Balenciaga bags and accessories too
- Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale
