The ballerina edit

The flat that does the most

The ballerina is GANNI's quiet show-off. A classic shape with something slightly off: a buckle where you didn't expect one, a lace that climbs the ankle, a sole with a bit of sport to it. Danish summer simplicity, with an edge.


The edit runs across three icons. The vintage-inspired Lace-Up Ballerina ties up the leg in leopard denim, ivory and olive; the studded Jenny Ballerina brings the hardware; and the graphic Sporty Ballerina adds a chunkier sole. Plus the Buckle and Feminine Buckle styles for the GANNI signature fastening. From $425.


Here's the part worth knowing: the Lace-Up Ballerina comes in Oleatex, our leather alternative made from the pulp left after olives are pressed for oil. A real material with the softness you expect, minus the animal and the petroleum. We name what every pair is made from on its product page.

FAQ

Still going strong, but with personality. The plain nude flat has given way to detail: lace-ups, buckles, studs, prints and sportier soles. Our Jenny, Sporty and Lace-Up Ballerinas are built around exactly that shift.

Let them add the twist, not play it safe. A lace-up or studded pair sharpens jeans, a slip dress or tailored trousers. The trick is one interesting detail: a buckle, a print, a laced ankle.

They're made to be walked in, with soft uppers and a flat, flexible sole. The Sporty Ballerina adds a chunkier cushioned base if you want more underfoot. Comfort notes are on each product page.

The Lace-Up Ballerina comes in Oleatex, our leather alternative made from the pulp left after olives are pressed for oil, as well as printed denim and croco textures. Soft like leather, without the animal or the petroleum.

Wrap the laces up the ankle and tie at the front or side, snug but not tight, with the bow where it flatters. Tuck the ends in or let them trail, both are fair game.

The Jenny is the studded one, the Sporty has a chunkier graphic sole, and the Lace-Up ties up the ankle. Same ballerina DNA, three moods, plus the Buckle styles for our signature fastening.

Very much. They've outlasted the "is the flat over?" debate by evolving: more detail, more texture, more print. A laced or buckled pair reads current, not basic.

Almost anything. Cropped or wide jeans, a slip or mini dress, tailored trousers with a visible ankle. Let the shoe's detail, a buckle or a lace, be the finishing note.
