Balenciaga inspires brave minimalism: The Zero Shoe is here!

Spanien - Balenciaga surprises the fashion world with its latest autumn collection 2025, which takes a daring view of minimalism. The Spanish fashion giant under the direction of creative director Demna presents a shoe with the "Zero Shoe" that redefines the boundaries of shoe fashion. This innovative barefoot shoe is almost entirely made of foam and offers an ultra-slim foot bed with a special traction for each individual toe, while the big toe gets its own area. Despite the bold expulsion of the foot, the shoe remains safely on the foot thanks to a rounded heel and a spacious toe area, as reports.

The collection that was recorded by the lens by Demna in a series of internal pictures offers an unadorned look at the upcoming fashion. From casual everyday soutfits to conceptual designs, the style swings between luxurious evening dress and a sporty leisure look. The Cocoon Maxi dress and the contrasting semi-fed T-shirt mini dress, which illustrate the extreme bandwidth of the design, are particularly striking. The unconventional shoe models such as the "Zero", which reduces footwear to a minimum, are also characterized by an ultra-light 3D-shaped Eva sole, and thus get very close to the feeling of walking barefoot. This and more was revealed by Balenciaga that shows the eccentricity and creativity of Demna's vision.

While Balenciaga provokes with these brave designs, the collection also relies on the interpretation of classic cuts and stylish everyday clothing. The varied selection ranges from oversized silhouettes to minimalist designs that accentuate the body and offer maximum comfort. The advanced materials and the bonds on historical fashion elements create a field of tension that fashion enthusiasts both provoked and seduced.
