BALMAIN X ANT KAI

Balmain has just announced an exclusive sneaker collaboration with artist Ant Kai.

To celebrate the triumph of its now-legendary "Unicorn" sneaker, Balmain is launching a new initiative blending Parisian expertise with art, technology and inclusivity, values deeply rooted in the brand's DNA.

True to its heritage of bold innovation and exceptional French couture craftsmanship, Balmain is teaming up with Ant Kai, an American artist renowned for his singular vision in creating custom sneakers, to breathe new life into the successful "Unicorn" model.

In collaboration with Space Runners, Balmain continues its innovative path in digital innovation by integrating a unique "Generative-AI" tool, offering buyers the opportunity to personalize the digital version accompanying each special edition pair of "Unicorn-Ant Kai". Further affirming its commitment to the ever-evolving digital economy, Balmain is reaching out to technology enthusiasts by accepting, as usual, crypto-currencies as a method of payment.

This partnership with Ant Kai illustrates Balmain's long cherished tradition of welcoming diverse talents and innovative perspectives, echoing the rebellious and constantly innovative spirit of the Maison since its inception. This collaboration with the famous artist is not only about reinventing a successful model, but also about establishing a dialogue with a wider audience, connecting the luxury House with a younger clientele and all those who are passionate about new technologies.
