Romeo Beckham is getting into one of the family businesses. While his mother, Victoria Beckham, is a noted fashion designer and his father, David Beckham also has done fashion collaborations and both were style stars for years, Romeo is starting his journey in the fashion industry as a model.
The young Beckham has already done a few projects, the star made his runway debut in the Balenciaga spring 2025 presentation wearing the brand’s new oversized shoe: the Basketball sneaker.
Simply titled “The Basketball Sneaker,” the shoe is a sculpted style that was presented on multiple models during the show. Romeo’s version was silver with black panels. Other iterations were all red, all white and all black, often with reflective effects.
Balenciaga sneaker designer Qianbein posted a series of images featuring the style on Instagram.
Qianbeini had previously posted the viral Balenciaga Reptile sneaker on the social platform earlier this year.
The Balenciaga Basketball sneaker is, like the name suggests, a basketball-inspired sneaker that takes design cues from styles like the Nike Foamposite. Another predecessor is the Nike Air Zoom Flight Glove.
The Balenciaga shoe features a zip-closure in place of laces, with the zipper being hidden by a flap. It sports the number 44 on the front and back as well as logos throughout.
As typical with Balenciaga shoe design, it also is a puffed up shoe, with an exaggerated silhouette.
