Balenciaga’s Spring 2025 collection, shown in Shanghai, marks the debut of its collaboration with Under Armour, merging luxury fashion with performance sportswear. Held on the rooftop of the Museum of Art Pudong, the show included elongated, vertical silhouettes inspired by Shanghai’s skyline. The collaboration brought Under Armour’s functional fabrics into Balenciaga’s oversized, avant-garde silhouettes, featuring items like hoodies, sweatpants, and caps with a combined logo. Key pieces included structured hoodies and statement windbreakers, blending sport and high fashion in a moody palette of black and red.
The show also highlighted unconventional accessories, with platform boots and boxy sneakers mirroring the skyscraper theme, and imaginative bags made from unique materials, like sneaker boxes turned into clutches and chain totes made from repurposed metal. Additionally, Balenciaga partnered with a local restaurant to create an exclusive dim sum experience, celebrating Shanghai’s cultural influence with special truffle-filled xiao long bao served in branded bamboo steamer boxes.
The series features ready-to-wear items including UA’s hallmark athletic base layer pieces, and innovatively constructed reversible garments including windbreakers, quarter-zip pullovers, and track suit separates. A nylon tracksuit jacket reverses into a denim zip-up jacket, while soft jersey and fleece interiors on other items simultaneously act as comfortable linings, and offer the wearer two distinctive styles in one garment.
