These are slowly growing on me. I love my X-Panders and these remind me of those with a more traditional (I guess) outsole. If I see these in store I def want to at least try a pair on. Really curious to see if you end up getting the Ultra Flats now that those are more widely available on retailers sites (at least in the US.)
Can you please do a review of the frankie shop the coat looks amazing and wanted to see if you had a look at any of their other products. Thanks for putting me onto to them!
Watching this video reminded me that I JUST picked up the Balenciaga Trooper boots thanks to you .. as soon as I saw them on your channel and on foot I JUST HAD TO COP THEM FOR MY COLLECTION .. and I have NEVER spent that much money on an item before, especially not without thinking it over for at least a month, and especially not on a pair of RUBBER BOOTS 😅 but never the less I’M IN LOVE WITH THEM MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN MY ENTIRE CLOSET 🥰
When I first saw the shoes I hated them but the more I see them the more I like them. And they look so unique on your feet people wouldn’t think you have on cheap shoes
For a true men's US 9/UK 8, you recommend a EU 42? I picked up the tall master boot in EU 42 and they were huge - sized down to a 41 and they were perfect. Same with the Prada monoliths. I'd come to the conclusion that in primarily European sized footwear, I'm just a 41. Though maybe that's just with boots (?), cause my size 41 defenders just arrived and though my left foot fits like an absolute dream, my right foot is constantly crushing into the edge of the toe box - so much so that I can't comfortably ignore it or realistically expect them to stretch. The fact that the 41 fits my left foot perfectly though pisses me off because it nearly solidifies that I *am* a 41... Contacted the retailer I grabbed them from to see if I can exchange them for another size 41 and see if maybe these were a defect. I doubt it, and I honestly think this is the case where one foot fits one size and one fits another. I'd ask how the 42 fit you but I know you wear a 42 in the master as well, which I don't, so my feet are likely smaller. I might try out the 42 if the next 41 don't fit, but I already know they're gonna look huge.
Are they heavy?? I’ve always struggled with Balenciaga sneakers being so heavy you can’t actually walk (doesn’t help that I’m a 46-47). I’m intrigued to try these out as they look very cushiony and comfortable. Wonderful video as always Joel
Hey Joel, nice video! Could you maybe do a video on proportion how-to at some point? You're the epitome of proportions to me when it comes to dressing. Keep inspiring!
I'm really on the fence with this one. Are they really as humongeous as they look they are? Deciding between an Xpander and this one, aaaaaa (both beige)
they are okay, but they could just aswell be from eytys a some brand like that so I dont think they are worth the balenciaga price tag. How ever they are waaaaay better than the version with the weird spring heel on it
Hey I don’t have a scale I’m sorry 😅 if you want a light shoe from balenciaga I suggest the Phantom or track 3! The defenders are big and bulky so probably not for you if you want a shoe you can easily walk in 🙈
@@Gallucks joel, it isn't that difficult. people watch your content to gain knowledge on certain brands, items, etc. they look at you as a central figure in that world & as a guide to help them make decisions. to be as flippant and smarmy as you have been is so incredibly obnoxious. first you tell me to try them on at a store as if everyone has the privilege and access you have. how absolutely obtuse are you? i'm sorry you had such a bad day and had to come throw a little temper tantrum my way, little boy.
I kind of feel like white socks with black ankle stripes would have contrasted better than just plain white but other than, that the outfit looks good!
With so many other sneakers and runners to wear why would I look at my collection and ever pick these to wear for the day? No real reason to purchase these for me
You do not like the shoe.. You like the reaction you get when you wear the shoe. Because once the next new shoe come out you will be running to them. Such Shallow humans
@@Gallucks no trust I am correct. You are materialistic and shallow. Your like a little kid who needs attention. Your generation is very pacified. One day you will get knocked off that pedistal of self entitlement. And maybe spend your money on things that matter..
@@Gallucks no trust me I do been around along time and majority of your generation are the worst of humans I have ever seen. All about self self selfies.
Whoa! I am pretty well off thanks to hard work and good choices in life. I did struggle from a young age and grew up poor AF! But really though. Who TF thinks these trash looking shoes are worth $1k plus?!!! Wtf?! I'm slowly losing hope in humanity.....
@@Gallucks I just found out about these waste of life and money shoes and your video came up first unfortunately, so don't flatter yourself. While billions are dying and really struggling, the rest are so useless and have 0 struggle that they're just throwing money away on nothing just because the machine tells them to along with creating "struggles". You are useless and help your fellow useless compatriots remain useless. Good for you I guess? Later lame.
The Defenders look like the Balenciaga sneakers you would craft from farming Uragaan parts in Monster Hunter World
Looooll
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well
BROOO YEAHH
Another reason to buy it

Got mine in beige size 41 today thanks to your tip on how to cop them before official release!! Major love
ordered the black ones, one size below my usual, they look so good !!
Lol I watch your channel because there's so much Balenciaga 😁
I really dig these, they're crazy but not too crazy
okay nvm when I saw how they look from the top when you`re wearing them I fell in love lol
I was on the fence about them at first but once you did a on feet they actually are fire
The fact that it's weird, but once it's been worn, it is absolutely dope and lit aasf
I love them! I'm really thinking of getting them but I'm pretty short and they might look massive on me.
Our styles are SO similar and it makes me want these defenders even more, though I think I may wait for a true white colorway
Def an interesting shoe. Glad that Demna is redefining the "luxury" sneaker. Great vid as well
Can you please do a review of the frankie shop the coat looks amazing and wanted to see if you had a look at any of their other products. Thanks for putting me onto to them!
would love to see a 24 hours especially with how the colour holds up with wear
I LOVE these sneakers !! ❤️😃❤️😃❤️😃

Same goes for me together with the franklin shop john coat 🤩
Just put myself on the waiting list for these for when they come in! So excited they are soooo clean
Defender or Runner? Overall score
are they comfortable?
When I first saw the shoes I hated them but the more I see them the more I like them. And they look so unique on your feet people wouldn’t think you have on cheap shoes
i'm glad you're changing your mind on them! they're a really unique shoe :)
Yeah I need these!
What's sizing like if I'm 11.5 should I go 45 or 44? I prefer a looser fit but I've heard balenciaga runs big so any help is appreciated

yesss!

Definitely heavy but weirdly comfy. Nothing close to Yeezy comfort though
@@DVNDO yeezy not that comfy tho
Hey Joel, nice video! Could you maybe do a video on proportion how-to at some point? You're the epitome of proportions to me when it comes to dressing. Keep inspiring!
cool shoes, never seen or heard of these before
Demna’s a geniusssss🤪
I couldn't wear them if you paid me, you're brave if you can, and crazy if you paid for them 🤣
how tall are they? like how many cm do they add in height? thanks
I’m personally phasing out bulky shoes on daily wear. I think im going going for bulky shoes on bad weather days
Thx for the vid 💖👍..
I wrote in Instagram to you to make a vid about the Defender....love them so much too 💕....thanks 💗
Hi，What brand is the black zip hoodie and pant from？
Atleast he didn’t get the “destroyed sneakers” If I see anyone buy those I’ll snip ya cards
very fire.
Lemon is my fav 😂
Balenciaga is trying to troll us hard.
Yes 24 hrs in baggy cargo trousers or jeans
Where's a good affordable site to buy balenciaga triple s?
I'm really on the fence with this one. Are they really as humongeous as they look they are? Deciding between an Xpander and this one, aaaaaa (both beige)
i would definitely say defenders! only because the xpander are so uncomfortable haha i did a review wearing them for 24 hours if you haven't seen yet!
@@Gallucks Do you personally prefer the Defenders to be styled with more baggier pants, or skinnier? :)
Respectfully ofc
24 HOUR VID Please ! I want themmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ok soon! I can't keep up with the Balenciaga releases lmaooo
Fire 🔥
These in Black for walking around in the city😍
goody ahh sneakers
Im in love with these shoes. If I wasn't a broke bitch they'd be in my basket🥲
Where's the hoodie from??
What is he going to do when those tires go balled😭😭😭
LOL
What color is this?
Contemplating so hard
Where did you get your pants they look sick!!!!!
ARCANA !
@@Gallucks Ayyy thanks my dude do you know the exact name? Cheers and thx u
they are okay, but they could just aswell be from eytys a some brand like that so I dont think they are worth the balenciaga price tag. How ever they are waaaaay better than the version with the weird spring heel on it
Adorable
where u get that hoodie zip
They look like sketcher shape ups
For the triple S I’m using 42, just wondering for the defender if 42 will still fit me ?
yes :)
@@Gallucks Thank you for responding ! Love you King! 🙏🏻
Please tell me what is your jacket? 🥺
wait my black hoodie? It's from ASCLO :)
Fire
thanks!
How heavy are they compared to the Triple S?
A lot lighter !
@@Gallucks could you pls weight a shoe, just for reference? I need something I can easily walk with, and Triples S is not the one!
Hey I don’t have a scale I’m sorry 😅 if you want a light shoe from balenciaga I suggest the Phantom or track 3! The defenders are big and bulky so probably not for you if you want a shoe you can easily walk in 🙈
Yeah I dunno bout those defenders 🤣
Would you size down? Im a size 44, should I get 43?
I would stay true to size in defenders
@Gallucks thanks. I know you've had them for a while now. Do you still have same feelings towards them?
Yes i love them! I wore them the other day :)
@Gallucks awesome. I think that sealed the deal. Will buy now. I didn't know if it was the type of purchase you regret later
to be honest - B white track is the best
If you buy these that means you only bought them because of the name
eye roll
Never in my life will I probably afford these. But Imma still watch coz I can't miss out on really good content! Keep it up Joel! 💖
im saving money for these! These maybe my first designer brand sneakers i like em a lot
are these TTS? Joel is horrible at giving good info on pieces
the sizes are all over the place go try them on in store jeeeeez
@@Gallucks I live in OHIO nigga! i can't just go try these on in store!
it's called ordering online?!?!!? skjdksfkhgg

RIP JIMBO'S BIG BREAST 🖤
Rip Money
Bro they look like you got tires on your feet
they’re inspired by tyres so you got it dead on lol
what language are you speaking?
anglais
Those are space boots. And for what a price. Never.
I kind of feel like white socks with black ankle stripes would have contrasted better than just plain white but other than, that the outfit looks good!
People wear everything what balenciaga brands...its insane
yes
jimbo or pangina shouldve won uk vs the world just my opinion
agreed
Go get NIKE ACG MOUNTAIN FLAY LOW for only $149 CAD lolz you will be fine
Bought them
Man I wish I was rich
With so many other sneakers and runners to wear why would I look at my collection and ever pick these to wear for the day? No real reason to purchase these for me
Lovely
Goofy ahh sneakers
Why did u get the white color 😭😭
i explain in the video…. 😂
It’s not even white lol!

Hello my friend ،I used the translation program to write to you. I follow you from Egypt. Keep it up. I hope to meet you someday
I prefer the runners than these😁😁
😘
Can u drive whit that
Probably not hahaha
A1
Saw these shoes in an ad and decided to look at a review for them. Holy shit these look ugly and it cost 1,000 bucks?
then don’t buy them? 😂
@@Gallucks I like how, of all the other comments that have a similar opinion to mine, you only replied to my comment.
eshays
I'm sorry but I don't get the hype about Balenciaga.
then maybe don’t click on videos with it in the title lmao
@@Gallucks I just wanted to see what your opinion on them was. That's all
These shoes are horribly designed and why would you pay this amount for shoes why. Seriously lacking something.
you don’t understand and that’s fine, maybe don’t watch videos about things you hate? Lmao
@@Gallucks no trust me I do been around along time and majority of your generation are the worst of humans I have ever seen. All about self self selfies.
yeah i hope u find peace dude x
You dressing up like ur gramps stop it
gramps dead babes somebody’s gotta do it
komm ausm kincke alter
Just, no.
please talk about something relevant to the video for more than two sentences. unbearable to watch more than 30 seconds
go watch something else
What a soy boy
Sorry 23codez forgot you were the ultimate man god of masculinity 🥺🙌🏻
These Balenciaga vids are becoming a bit repetitive love. Hopefully we see you exploring other brands soon
literally said that in the video love !
Whoa! I am pretty well off thanks to hard work and good choices in life. I did struggle from a young age and grew up poor AF! But really though. Who TF thinks these trash looking shoes are worth $1k plus?!!! Wtf?! I'm slowly losing hope in humanity.....
