The images are actually of exaggerated, limited-edition versions of the sneakers that the fashion house is selling.

According to the fashion house, only 100 pairs of “extra destroyed” sneakers will be available to buy for KSh 215K ($1,850).

The non-limited edition, and less roughed up versions, are being sold on the Balenciaga website for $495 and $625, depending on the specific style.

In a press release, the Paris-based brand said that the campaign photos show the shoes “extremely worn, marked up, and dirtied.”
