Balenciaga has partnered with French shoemaker J.M. Weston on a collaborative footwear range debuted in the Winter 26 collection
The capsule features reimagined brogues d Orsay shoes mules and loafers crafted from soft calf and Nappa leather
The lineup will be available at select Balenciaga stores worldwide and online
Balenciaga and French master shoemaker J.M. Weston have officially revealed their collaborative Balenciaga x J.M. Weston footwear collection. Introduced within Pierpaolo Piccioli‘s Winter 26 collection, titled ClairObscur, the range merges J.M. Weston’s traditional Limoges craftsmanship with Balenciaga’s distinct luxury design codes.
Crafted from soft calf and Nappa leather, the collection reimagines classic silhouettes through a hybrid lens. The classic lace-up wingtip brogue is updated with raw, worn edges, visible threading, and metal Balenciaga Le City studs fixed across the upper. An asymmetrical men’s d’Orsay utilizes wingtip perforations to trace a double-B logomark across the toe box, while the numerical shoe size is detailed on the heel using small metal nail heads.
Reinterpreting traditional shapes, a men’s slip-on mule folds the brogue facing outward and collapses the heel counter inward to reveal the leather’s natural interior texture and tone. Additionally, a unisex loafer incorporates a foldable double tongue, subtly debossed with a Balenciaga logo on the top flap and a J.M. Weston logo on the underside. Every style is completed with a gold foil collaboration logo stamped onto a soft, natural calfskin lining.
The Balenciaga x J.M. Weston collection will release as part of the Winter 26 collection via select Balenciaga stores worldwide and online.
