BALENCIAGA | J.M. WESTON

Balenciaga has partnered with the French master shoemaker J.M. Weston to create a range of entirely unique oxfords, introduced within the Winter 26 Collection, ClairObscur, by Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Founded in 1891, J.M. Weston is known for maintaining an artisanal tradition at an original atelier in Limoges, using proprietary materials and methods. A collaboration between the two Houses results in brogue, d’Orsay, loafer, and mule styles—in soft, exceptionally form-fitting calf and Nappa leather—that combine signatures for an evocative, hybrid approach.

A classic, lace-up, perforated wingtip brogue—in men’s and women’s sizes—is reimagined with worn edges, visible threads, and metal Balenciaga Le City studs all over the upper.

The asymmetrical men’s d’Orsay features wingtip perforations as well—which outline a double-B logomark on each toe. A shoesize is marked on the heel, formed by small metal nail heads.

A men’s slip-on mule reconstitutes the brogue style by folding the facing out and allowing the heel back to fold in, intentionally exposing the leather’s natural interior color and fluidity.

A timeless, unisex loafer silhouette is made unique with a foldable double tongue, each of which is subtly debossed—the first, with a Balenciaga logo, and on the exposed inside of the second, a J.M. Weston logo.

Each shoe is hot stamped with a specially developed collaboration logo in gold foil on its insole and lined with soft, natural-colored calfskin.
