Vibram and Balenciaga collab on a “Toe” footwear collection

Oct 19 2020 Share

This iconic collaboration consists of two limited-edition sneaker styles as well as a high-heeled style, both made from recycled knit.

This concept was taken from Vibram’s patented FiveFingers shoe style, a flexible sole on the foot that separates each toe, allowing for better tactile perception when moving — but with a twist adding Balenciaga’s bounce and height in an innovative way. 

A limited number of Balenciaga Toe shoes are now available on Balenciaga’s official website as well as a few selected stores worldwide.

Oct 19 2020 Share

In a recent meeting with Professor Charmaine Gauci, Bernard Grech praised the Superintendent for Public Health for her work and stated that any and all decision having to do with COVID-19 had to be up to the Health Authorities and not the Prime Minister.

Grech will be presenting the Opposition’s reaction to the national budget later tonight.
