Balenciaga track sneakers GT by Bean
Many Reddit users have reviewed Bean’s Balenciaga track sneakers GT batch on different subreddits, and it was considered flawless. We will point out the flaws of the sneakers in this review. Before we start, this sneaker is very close to the retail but still has some minor flaws.
Flaw 1
Looking at the overall sneakers from the side view, the “Balenciaga” word printed in the bubble slightly differs in both the sneakers. The font on Bean’s sneaker is taller than the authentic, and the placement is slightly off. Furthermore, the color of the orange highlight has different shades on both sneakers. The genuine orange shade is brighter than Bean; perhaps it might be due to lighting.
Flaw 2
Moving on to comparing both the tongue to spot the difference. The stitching on Bean’s tongue is not as uniform as the authentic one shown in the images. The shade of orange on the “Balenciaga” is one or two shades off on both tongues; it might be due to lighting too.
Flaw 3
The front view of the sneakers looks very similar, and there’s only some minor difference. The color of both laces is slight off when comparing them. The stitching on Bean’s sneaker is not as tidy and uniform as the authentic ones.
Flaw 4
The sneaker size embroidery font is thicker on Bean’s sneaker than on the authentic ones, which is thin and prominent.
Flaw 5
The same stitching flaw appears on the rear of Bean’s sneaker. On the other hand, the stitching on the authentic sneakers is uniform, and the thread length is consistent throughout.
Conclusion
Overall, Bean’s Balenciaga track sneakers GT was one of the closest to the retail that we ever reviewed despite all the minor flaws. Those minor flaws we mentioned seemed like we were nitpicking on the sneaker. If Bean’s stitching could be consistent and the shade of the colors could be on point, this sneaker would be flawless. Rep Preview Studio will be getting this pair from Bean for an in-depth YouTube review. As always, peace out and stay vibey.
