Are You Feeling the Champion Rally Pro?

G-Roc

Champion takes a page out of the Balenciaga book.

Athletic footwear brands have been "inspiring" high fashion brands for years, so it's totally fine that an athletic brand ripped a popular style from a luxury brand, right? No, that's a serious question. Let me know in the comments.

"I like those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks," says Cardi B. She's not the only person who's a fan of Balenciaga's Speed Trainer, but everyone can't afford to spend hundreds on a pair of designer sneakers.

That's where the Champion Rally Pro joins the conversation. I saw a few images floating around, and I even posted an image on @TheShoeGame's Instagram page. The inspiration is obvious, but can you blame Champion?

When I'm out people watching, I can't tell you how many people I see wearing Balenciaga Speed Trainers, so I can't say that I'm surprised that Champion made a much more affordable version of the popular sneaker.

Heads up if this is your first time seeing this shoe. Pairs are sold out at most places, but you can grab a pair by clicking here.
