Balenciaga’s Block Core Finale: The Soccer Series Reveal

Balenciaga has unveiled its new Soccer Series, reigniting the briefly dimmed Block Core trend.

The collection, themed around soccer, includes a variety of products such as tracksuits, zip-up hoodies, ball caps, socks, and more. Some items replace team names or player names with specific regions and city names like Barcelona, Beverly Hills, Milan, Paris, Seoul, and Tokyo. Notably, the collection features the number 10, commemorating the historic Balenciaga location at 10 Avenue George V in Paris, adding a unique touch.

The collection, imbued with Balenciaga’s distinctive wit, is currently available in limited quantities on the official website.

⚽What is Block Core?
Block Core is a term combining ‘bloke’, a British term for a man, and ‘normcore’, a fashion style that embraces simplicity and ordinariness. It originated from the 90s culture of wearing a team’s soccer uniform to games. Simply put, it’s about integrating sports uniforms into everyday wear.
