The debut collection of Balenciaga x Adidas created a lasting impression on spectators, as Love the Sales data revealed that the searches for "tracksuits" ever since the collection was revealed has increased by a whopping 138 percent.
The collection's tracksuit is available in both men's and women's sizes, where the classic stripe motif is blended with Balenciaga's streetwear and oversized-aesthetic.
In addition to "Tracksuits," there has also been an increase of "Balenciaga" searches by 25 percent and "Adidas" searches by 13 percent, shown by Love the Sales data.
The collection is replete with functional sportswear and powered oversized silhouettes from the '90s and '00s inspirations, and is mostly covered in black, muted teal, and blue color palette.
There are also nods to the sportswear culture, and Demna's love for sportswear is quite apparent in the collection. The collection includes two distinct styles of soccer jerseys, one of which is reminiscent of the Liverpool shirt worn by the team during the 2008 season.
The entire collection is available for pre-order on the official e-commerce site of Balenciaga, and can be ordered until May 29, 2022.
