The "Ballyrina" dances with Olympic-colored ribbons
Bally actively supports major global events in art and sports. For the Olympics, which capture the world's attention, the brand presents the "Bally Olympic Series," an array of items designed with an energetic spirit to liven up the summer.
The "West H. Sneaker," a men's leather sneaker with a refined shape that balances casualness with elegance, has been reimagined for the Olympics. It features vintage-style motifs of the national flags of 12 countries competing in London this summer, including Japan, South Africa, Brazil, and Switzerland. Six of these, representing the UK, Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France, will be available in Japan.
For women, Bally's new icon, the "Ballyrina," makes an appearance, depicted on the special Olympic celebration bag, the "Hanoe." The Ballyrina playfully dances across the pristine white Hanoe tote, her ribbons rippling in Olympic colors. Enhancing her elegant yet charming presence are the soft leather handles, striking with black and red piping. Subtle along the underside of the slender handles is the brand's signature Trainspotting stripe.
Both items will be available in limited quantities at select stores starting in late June. As these are limited editions, we recommend checking them out early.
West H. Sneaker | ¥37,800
Hanoe Tote | ¥78,750
