Balenciaga’s Zero

Barefoot Redefined for Fall 2025

Balenciaga takes minimalism to the next level with The Zero, a futuristic shoe designed to make you feel as close to barefoot as possible. Part of the Fall 2025 collection, this ultralight, 3D-molded footwear strips the concept of a shoe down to its purest form.

The Zero features a closed-palm-shaped heel cup and an open toe covering, leaving the rest of the foot free. Made from Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate, a foam-like material often used in running shoes, it’s lightweight, flexible, and built for comfort. Available in a range of colours to complement a variety of skin tones, it’s as inclusive as it is forward-thinking.

Balenciaga reimagines the essence of footwear by following the natural curve of the foot and removing all unnecessary elements. Socks or no socks, the tactile experience of walking in The Zero is the statement itself.
