Balenciaga’s destroyed sneakers sold for $1,850.

Balenciaga’s destroyed sneakers sold for $1,850. Ripped shoes. Dirty fabric. Worn-out soles. Marketed as luxury fashion. But for people experiencing homelessness, destroyed shoes are not a trend. They are not a fashion statement. They are daily life. The Dutch Salvation Army called this out with its Truly Destroyed campaign, showing real shoes worn by people experiencing homelessness. This is where designer fashion crosses a line. When poverty becomes aesthetic, luxury culture has gone too far. Is this creativity, or is this the Buy-more Machine turning hardship into status?
