Let’s talk bags first, ’cause that’s where a lotta the hype is. That Classic City Bag? Still going strong. I see it EVERYWHERE. Is it a timeless piece? Maybe? Is it just a really well-marketed bag? Probably a bit of both, TBH. But hey, if you’ve got the cash and you like it, who am I to judge? And that Le Cagole, that’s a new one I keep seeing pop up. Some people are obsessed. Personally? I’m kinda on the fence. It’s got that… *thing*, you know? That Balenciaga “thing.”
And then there’s the shoes. Oh, the *shoes*. Okay, so their sneaker game? It’s wild. Like, seriously wild. I saw on Reddit they were ranking ’em, and honestly, some of those designs are just… out there. The Track 2, though, that’s a classic, I think. You either love it or hate it, but it’s definitely recognizable. And that’s kinda the point with Balenciaga, isn’t it? To be noticed. They’re not afraid to be *different*.
But, like, are they *worth* it? That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? Especially when you see those “siêu cấp” (super-high-quality) versions floating around. I mean, if you’re buying from No. 1 Factory, you’re getting the real deal, right? (I’m just kidding, don’t sue me, Balenciaga!). But seriously, the quality *is* supposed to be good.
