Big fan of Balenciaga? Well, you probably won’t love the huge price tags that come with designer branding.
Good news: a TikTok user found a cheaper pair of Balenciaga replicas, available at the JD Sports store for a fraction of the price.
While the original nylon and mesh track shoe can set you back an astonishing £750, JD’s offer is far more generous.
You can get the Fila Electrove pair for just £45 – that’s £680 cheaper than the designer version.
The economy option is available in black or white, with peach or purple and yellow accents.
The TikTok user who goes by the name Natalie MC on the app, shared a video with the range available.
She wrote: “Girls, if you love Balenciaga’s runway style but don’t have the budget, Fila has similarly styled sneakers at JD for a fraction of the cost.”
She captioned the video with ‘boujee on a budget’.
While Natalie was certainly impressed by the find, others were divided.
Some have suggested buying a real fake version of the Balenciaga original, rather than opting for another brand’s knockoff.

One wrote: ‘Normally I agree with everything you show but these are terrible! Just buy jarg (fakes) if you can’t afford it.’
But Natalie said even fakes can be expensive, replying, “It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but some girls might.” I have the right ones, but I know not everyone can afford good fakes on the min.
Another replied: “I’d get sick if I saw them in person.”
a little harsh Natalie responded by saying that the trainers were like Marmite, willing to divide people.
