Notably, Beyonc\u00e9 wore a pair in the 2011 music video for her single &#8220;Love on Top,&#8221; and they&#8217;ve been a favorite of celebrities and fashion girls alike ever since, also worn by Anne Hathaway, Ashley Tisdale, and Alessandra Ambrosio, among other A-listers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether you loved them or loathed them, the Beckett sneaker was one of the hottest footwear options of the decade in the early 2010s. Now, they&#8217;re back but reimagined for 2021 in honor of their 10th anniversary. The label has introduced a contemporary twist on the celeb-loved shoe, dubbed the Balskee, and it&#8217;s available in five signature colorways, including neutrals like black and white and bolds like green, yellow, and red.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26714\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26714 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/06\/isabelmarant-4.png\" alt=\"isabel marant BALSKEE\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1024\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: (L) Arnaldo Magnani\/Getty Image (R) SMXRF\/Star Max\/FilmMagic\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(L) Alessandra Ambrosio wearing Isabel Marant Beckett Sneaker (R) Ashley Tisdale wearing the Isabel Marant Beckett sneaker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Balskee has a few new iterations to its predecessor.
