A rare piece from Nicolas Ghesquière's Brogues series at Balenciaga. It takes the cult Motorcycle Part Time silhouette and adds menswear-inspired brogue perforation across the panels, handles and strap. This is the Covered version: every Giant stud and buckle is wrapped in matching leather instead of bare metal. It was produced in limited numbers and is now much harder to find than the standard Giant hardware.

Crafted in Balenciaga's signature distressed lambskin in a soft slate grey with navy contrast stitching. Silver-tone rings and Lampo zippers.
