Balenciaga Logo Pantashoe | Look 64, Resort 2019 Campaign
The Piece That Turned Leggings Into Footwear
This is the Balenciaga Pantashoe from the Resort 2019 collection, look 64 from the campaign, shot by photographer Johnny Dufort. The Pantashoe (often nicknamed "leggings-boots" or "bootgings" by fans) is one of Demna Gvasalia's most talked-about hybrid designs: a stretch legging with an integrated stiletto boot built directly into the foot, eliminating the line between clothing and footwear entirely.
This particular pair comes in Balenciaga's instantly recognizable diagonal logo print, with the house's wordmark repeated in bold black-and-white stripes running the length of the leg and down into the pointed, heeled foot. It's a design that turns a simple silhouette into a full logomania statement piece, unmistakably Balenciaga from ankle to waistband.
The Pantashoe first emerged as one of Gvasalia's clearest expressions of his "your entire outfit is one garment" philosophy, following in the footsteps of pieces like the brand's sock sneakers. By fusing legwear and footwear into a single continuous piece, Gvasalia removed yet another traditional boundary in dressing, in the same spirit that defined his earliest, most disruptive years at the house. The Resort 2019 campaign leaned fully into this idea, styling the Pantashoe with off-the-shoulder logo-print bodysuits and dresses for a fully coordinated, head-to-toe logo look.
Shot by Johnny Dufort, a longtime collaborator known for his stark, saturated campaign imagery for the house, the Resort 2019 campaign presented these pieces against bold, solid color backdrops, letting the graphic logo print take full visual command of the frame.
The Pantashoe is one of the more extreme, directional pieces to come out of the Gvasalia era, and pairs from documented campaign looks like this one are especially prized by collectors who focus on his most conceptually daring work. It's less an everyday wardrobe staple and more a wearable piece of fashion commentary, exactly the kind of archive item that tends to hold and grow in value among serious Balenciaga collectors.
Styling Tips
Because the Pantashoe is already a statement on its own, keep everything else minimal, a fitted top or bodysuit in a matching or solid tone lets the logo print and silhouette stand fully on their own, the way it was styled in the original campaign. This is a piece for making an entrance, not for blending in.
