Football jerseys are no longer confined to the pitch. Balenciaga's newly unveiled Soccer Series 26 blurs the line between sport and fashion, reinterpreting football culture through the house's distinctive design language. The collection features tracksuits, jerseys, hoodies, shorts, caps, and socks—all reimagined with Balenciaga's signature silhouettes.
Key highlights include newly developed graphic emblems and the Radar sneakers, which anchor the series' visual identity.
