Balenciaga and Scholl Announce Collaboration Blending Luxury Design with Orthopedic Comfort
Balenciaga is stepping into new territory with a global collaboration alongside Scholl, the heritage Italian brand known for its orthopedic expertise. Set to debut as part of Balenciaga’s Fall 2025 collection, the partnership fuses high-fashion aesthetics with the functional wellness-driven design that has defined Scholl for over a century.
The collaboration was born out of creative director Demna’s vision to craft the most comfortable heels ever made—reimagining Balenciaga’s signature silhouettes through the lens of Scholl’s foot care innovation. The result is a hybrid line that balances fashion-forward design with ergonomic precision.
The Balenciaga | Scholl lineup will span heeled mules, boots, booties, flat sandals, and plush mules crafted in Nappa sheepskin, all featuring hidden Scholl cork footbeds. Calfskin sandals inspired by Scholl’s iconic 1956 Pescura model include exposed cork soles and signature metal buckles, available in both heeled and flat versions. The collection also introduces platform clogs in beechwood with perforated uppers and co-branded takes on Balenciaga’s classic Pool Slide Sandals.
This collaboration continues a trend of unexpected but thoughtful crossovers in fashion, where heritage comfort brands and luxury houses come together to push the boundaries of what modern footwear can offer.
