to the latest Defender, Balenciaga learns from the two pairs of predecessors, and controls the sense of pioneering and public acceptance more easily. It uses X-pander shoe shape, but replaces the "suspended heel" with a relatively practical "tire", and the foot feeling is also improved;

The "New Trilogy" composed of Runner, X-pander and Defender is ideally successful and recognized among the "believers" of Balenciaga and designer Demna, as well as the masses, and Defender has the best chance to achieve this.
