Demna Gvasalia‘s Balenciaga has taken a dark turn as of late, and its latest piece of Fall/Winter 2021 footwear is no exception. Dubbed the Bulldozer Mini Boot, this design is more of a slip-on bootie if anything and is made from a mixture of vegetal calfskin leather and thick rubber, with the latter making up that unmissable sole unit.

Akin to Keith Haring’s Barking Dog, the side profile shows the scale of the Bulldozer at its best. The rubber midsole is branded with Balenciaga’s moniker before being extended and stretched to create a toothed design, resulting in eight teeth supporting your foot across the full length of the sole.

Classic design details such as a rounded toe, wide-fit design on the tongue and throat, and a squared-off heel complement the avant-garde design, while the smooth slip-on area adds to the subverted take on a low-top boot. Rounding out the pair is Balenciaga branding on the leather insole and on the underside of the boot, which of course, is also finished in black.

Priced at $995 USD, the Bulldozer Mini Boot can be seen above and bought from Balenciaga’s website and boutiques worldwide while stocks last.
