LOEWE is set to introduce its revamped Ballet Runner 2.0 sneakers this February, marking a significant expansion in its footwear line. First introduced in 2019, the original Ballet Runner merged the grace of a ballet flat with the functionality of a running shoe. The latest iteration, Ballet Runner 2.0, elevates this concept by incorporating LOEWE’s iconic asymmetric toe, reminiscent of the 1970s running shoes, reflecting a vintage yet contemporary appeal.

The Ballet Runner 2.0 not only revisits but enhances its design elements. It features a redesigned ‘L’ monogram on the quarter and an embossed anagram on the tongue, adding a touch of sophistication. The most noticeable upgrade is its wavy-textured rubber outsole that now extends over the toe-cap, which promises to offer improved durability and traction, making it a perfect blend of fashion-forward design and practical use.
Not just stylish, the Ballet Runner 2.0 is built for comfort. It employs Sacchetto construction. a traditional technique wherein the lining is stitched to the insole, creating a sock-like internal structure that molds to the foot. This craftsmanship ensures enhanced flexibility and comfort, making the shoe feel as light and snug as a ballet slipper. The addition of a soft leather lining and a fussbett, along with a newly injected rubber logo on the calfskin heel tab, varies in contrast based on the color variation, further accentuates its refined aesthetics.
LOEWE has also introduced a range of colors in the nylon and calf versions, which were launched in December. These include combinations such as black/white, white/black, brown/yellow/blue, lilac/white/grey, and an exclusive white/red/blue available only onlne. The palette is set to expand with additional hues and a full soft leather version available in black, white, and cinnamon, promising options for every taste and occasion.
The comprehensive campaign for the LOEWE Ballet Runner 2.0, set to launch on February 3rd, is anticipated with excitement. LOEWE’s latest offering is set to become a staple both on the runways and on the streets, reflecting a trend where comfort does not compromise on style.
