Balenciaga Skiwear Hits the Slopes with Functional Athletic Objects

Balenciaga Skiwear Is Introducing Functional Athletic Objects.

Balenciaga‘s foray into the world of winter sports is nothing short of a fashion-forward adventure, bringing innovation, style, and functionality to the forefront of the slopes.

Breaking through the winter chill with a blend of style and functionality, Balenciaga’s Skiwear collection has officially hit the shelves, promising to transform your winter sports wardrobe into a high-fashion affair. The collection introduces a range of technically advanced ready-to-wear, accessories, equipment, and gear, marking Balenciaga’s debut in the world of winter sports.

The first-ever Balenciaga Skiwear collection is not just about keeping you warm on the slopes; it’s a symphony of innovation, bringing forth technically advanced products that redefine winter sportswear. From snowboards and skis to helmets and poles designed for downhill, cross-skiing, or hiking, Balenciaga introduces functional athletic objects with a stylish twist.

Signature Themes Evolved

Building on Balenciaga’s signature themes, the collection employs innovative materials and techniques catering to visibility, insulation, aerodynamism, and protection. Parkas and cargo pants in membrane-bonded technical ripstop feature integrated snow skirts, sophisticated ventilation systems, battery life-saving pockets, and ski pass holders. Quilted matte nylon jackets and vests, as well as bonded stretch nylon ski pants and close-fitting fleece jackets, echo the iconic Hourglass Jacket and Puffer silhouettes.

Stylish and Practical Outerwear

The outerwear is not just about style; it’s about functionality. Treated to be water-repellent, the pieces keep the wearer warm and dry. With options in black, grey, or red, the collection includes thermal layers like hoodies and long-sleeved half-zip tops in heavy molleton, fluffy knits, fisherman-ribbed wool, and mink-style faux fur. Padded gloves in durable ripstop clip to jacket sleeves, and a ribbed knit beanie with foldable sunglass lenses adds a touch of avant-garde flair.

From Head to Toe, Balenciaga Has You Covered

The Alaska Boot takes a step into the arctic with outsized proportions and a stylistic bias. Meanwhile, the 3XL Ski Sneaker, a snow-capable version of the original 3XL, boasts a water-resistant interior film and a detachable spiked crampon for added athleticism.

Gear Up with Balenciaga Equipment

For those who take the slopes seriously, the Balenciaga Snowboard and Skis make a bold statement. Available in two sizes, they feature the iconic Balenciaga logo on their bases and a sporty B logo on the nose of their mirrored Titanel topsheet. Ski poles, available in two sizes, and hiking ski poles in one retractable size complete the ensemble.

Safety Meets Style with Balenciaga Helmet

In collaboration with protective wear supplier Briko, Balenciaga introduces a Helmet available in three sizes, ensuring that safety is not compromised for style on the snowy slopes.
