Balenciaga Strike Boots

Balenciaga’s Strike boot in black leather, built around an exaggerated military-inspired silhouette with a heavily lugged platform sole.

the upper uses textured black leather with a rounded toe, extended lace-up construction and wraparound lacing at the ankle. oversized rubber tooling runs around the toe and heel, with molded BALENCIAGA branding integrated into the front and rear of the sole.

a substantial pair with the proportions Balenciaga became known for during the house’s oversized footwear era — somewhere between a traditional combat boot and an exaggerated industrial work boot.

fit notes

marked EU size 42.

constructed with a substantial sole and voluminous combat-boot profile. fit may feel more structured and heavier than a conventional leather boot.

care

clean leather with a soft dry cloth and appropriate leather-care products when necessary.

avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat. store in a dry environment and allow the leather to rest between wears.

pre-owned. visible creasing and surface wear throughout the leather consistent with use, along with light wear to the rubber soles and edges. no original box included. please review all product images carefully for exact condition.

one of the silhouettes that best captures Balenciaga’s approach to footwear during the era: take something familiar, increase the scale, and let the proportion become the design.

the Strike starts with the language of a military combat boot, but the oversized tread, rubber toe guard and exaggerated stance push it into something much more architectural. even with an otherwise simple outfit, the entire silhouette changes once these are on foot.

the worn-in leather works especially well here — the creasing softens some of the severity of the shape while keeping the boot’s weight and presence intact.
