Love ’em, hate ’em or can’t afford ’em like your boy writing this post, the Balenciaga Triple S is one of the most talked about shoes of 2017. One of the best? Well that’s certainly up for debate. Discussing the designer dad shoe favored in high fashion and by hip-hop, A$AP Rocky wore said sneaker for his GQ cover story with Will Welch asking him about them. His rationale for rocking them makes perfect sense, but his nickname for them is the real winner:
Will Welch for GQ: The Balenciaga sneakers that you wore in our shoot: They’re a little controversial, and I would like to know why you like them.
A$AP Rocky: I seen those early, and I like them ’cause they remind me of a Raf Simons sneaker, and on top of that, those shits are fire—
A$AP Ant: Shit is trash—
A$AP Rocky: He’s hating ’cause he got the fake Rick Owens Balenciaga shits. I don’t fuck with them shits. I only fucks with the ones I got. I call ’em the Larry Davids, you feel me?
Peep Pretty Flacko in the shoes he considers pretty, pretty good in the photos below and here what he had to say about his Under Armour partnership here. For the whole interview (a great read, by the way) head over to GQ.
