Which is better for everyday wear?

The Runner. Its EVA midsole, foam insole and neutral gray color make it the easier shoe to wear daily. The Triple is more of a statement pair.

Both use rubber outsoles. The Runner adds a cap toe and mixed leather and suede panels that resist scuffs; the Triple's canvas is durable but shows dirt and wear more.

Is the Runner worth stepping up to over the Triple?

If you want cushioning, reflectors and a wider size range, yes. If you want the multicolor look and your size fits, the Triple is fine.

Do either have waterproofing?

No. Neither lists a Gore-Tex or other waterproof membrane, so avoid heavy rain in both.

Which fits more people?

The Runner. It runs from US 6 to 13 and is listed as unisex; the Triple runs US 7 to 12 and is listed as men's.

Are they true to size?

Balenciaga sneakers generally run large, and the chunky sole models feel roomy. Try your usual size first and size down if the fit feels loose.

Balenciaga Runner sneaker vs Balenciaga Multicolor Canvas And Rubber Triple Sneakers

The Runner is the more wearable everyday shoe: a chunky platform sole, reflectors, and a mixed upper of faux leather, nylon, suede and mesh in a neutral gray. The Triple is louder and more limited, with a multicolor canvas and rubber build and a narrower size run. Owners of the Runner praise the cushioning and the stance; the Triple draws comments for its busy look and stiffer feel. Buy the Runner for daily wear, the Triple if you want a statement pair.

Choose the Runner if you want a cushioned, neutral, everyday chunky sneaker with a wide size run and reflective details.
Choose the Triple if you want a multicolor statement shoe and your size is in its shorter run.
