There seems to always be some kind of hype around Balmain...
When this tank came out in 2011, there was a bunch of controversy surrounding the flag depicted with burn holes and tears. It's a Christophe Decarnin design from his last collection at Balmain. Despite the not-so modest price tag of $1,515, the tank quickly sold out and eventually other stores were replicating the design and concept to jump on the bandwagon. In the wake of the H&MxBalmain collection, Balmainia clearly lives on and for collectors out there, this might be a smart piece to have. - Frank @ Decades
