Balmain.com issues an invoice for every order placed. This document will be sent as an attachment with the delivery confirmation email for your package, and can also be viewed via your customer account.

On Balmain.com, every payment is highly secure thanks to the use of certified secure servers. In addition, we only use secure connections, as indicated by the "https" prefix and the padlock in the browser's address bar.
In order to secure credit card payments, you will be asked to enter your card's security code with each order. As an additional security measure to authorise payment, the bank that issued your card may require you to enter a unique password, SMS code or use another authentication method.

Check your payment details are correct. If you are paying by credit card and are asked to enter a one-time password, SMS code or other authentication method to authorise payment, make sure that you have followed all the instructions given to you by your credit card company.

As soon as your order is complete, a payment authorisation is automatically carried out to verify the validity of the credit card and the availability of funds. The amount is debited later, when the order is handed over to the courier. You will then receive an email indicating that the amount has been debited.

The amount paid will be less than the order total if one or more items ordered are not available when the order is prepared. The amount paid therefore corresponds to the items that have been shipped.

Balmain.com guarantees that your order total will be charged to your credit card only once. However, it is possible that the amount will appear twice on your credit card statement. If this is the case, the first amount corresponds to the payment authorisation made at the time of the order and the second amount corresponds to the amount actually debited.

Balmain x Space Runners Collaboration

Balmain x Space Runners collaboration brings together fashion, art and AI into the iconic physical hand-painted Balmain Unicorn and a personalized Digital Collectible.
The bundle product includes a one of one unique pair of Balmain's Unicorn Sneakers, which will be hand painted by AntKai and a Digital Collectible which buyers will be able to customize using our AI Design Tool and claim it on the Polygon blockchain.

The Bundle sale will take place online through Balmain.com, and in-store through the Balmain Boutique in Atlanta.

The Digital Collectible will be minted on Polygon.
Yes. Once claiming is completed, buyers have full control over the ability to sell their Unicorn digital collectibles on various platforms, such as OpenSea and Magic Eden, at their desired price.
Although the owners are at liberty to set prices for their digital collectibles, the value of a Unicorn Digital Collectible on the secondary market is primarily influenced by factors such as the rarity of the collectible, its uniqueness, demand, and the existing market conditions.
Additionally, the perceived benefits of owning the digital collectible can also impact its market price.
Yes, the sneakers and the digital collectibles are separate items, so you can sell the digital collectibles while still retaining ownership of the physical sneakers.
The sale of the bundle supports various payment methods including fiat and cryptocurrency.
Users can make payments in their local currencies or using Ether (ETH).
No. At the time of purchase, having a digital wallet is not a requirement.
Users can purchase up to 1 Unicorn Bundle per checkout attempt.
Those who wish to purchase multiple Unicorn Bundles can start another checkout session after the first one is completed.
There is no maximum purchase limit per user.
The Unicorn digital collectible can only be acquired through the purchase of the Unicorn Bundle during the initial sale, and it is not available for individual purchase.

Users who wish to obtain the digital collectible separately, must purchase it from secondary markets such as OpenSea and Magic Eden when the initial sale is over.
Customers who buy the bundle on Balmain.com will receive an email from Space Runners containing a link which will lead to the AI Design tool. Buyers will then use the tool to customize the Digital Collectible and claim once they are happy with the design.

Our AI Design Tool is very intuitive and easy to use. You start with a design, and you just customize and refine it to your preference. For more information and a detailed guide on how to use it, check out our tutorials here.

No. The user will not pay an additional fee during the redeem process, including the Polygon gas fee.
Yes. Buyers are required to redeem their digital collectible within 60 days after receiving the email with a link to access the AI Design tool.

Users don’t need to have a digital wallet. A wallet will be created on registration, using their email account, and the digital collectible will be claimed directly into that wallet address.
Users will then be able to export the private key which can be taken to any external wallet.

It is important to note that users should always take appropriate security measures to protect their digital assets, including using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.
NEVER share your wallet private key or seed phrase with anyone.

Yes. Users can list their Unicorn digital collectible on a secondary market immediately after redeeming it, as long as the redemption process is completed and the digital collectible in users’ digital wallet, which will be accessible through Space Runners Dashboard.
A digital collectible or an NFT (Non-fungible token) is a type of digital asset that represents ownership of a unique item, piece of content or, in our case, a fashion item.

Blockchain is a distributed, digital ledger that records transactions in a secure, transparent, and immutable way. It uses cryptography to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data, and a network of nodes to verify and validate transactions.

Each block in the chain contains a set of transactions that are verified by network participants and added to the existing chain, creating a permanent and unalterable record of all transactions.

A private key is a complex alphanumeric code, which works like a password. It's crucial for approving cryptocurrency transactions.

Your digital wallet creates this key, and it's employed, along with encryption, to produce your public key (wallet address).

To export the private keys from the wallet, users can use the Export Private Key feature provided.

Paste your private key into the designated field and click 'Import.'

Email wallet is a subsection of custodial wallets, which simplifies blockchain-based app usage by enabling users to sign up, log in, and create web3 wallets effortlessly using their email addresses.
This user-friendly approach makes it exceptionally easy for users without prior crypto experience to engage with the blockchain.
Polygon is a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that aims to improve scalability and reduce transaction costs. It uses various technologies, to enable faster and more cost-effective transactions while still benefiting from the security of the Ethereum mainchain. Like Ethereum, it uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism for processing transactions on-chain.
A digital wallet is a software program or mobile application that allows users to securely store, send, and receive digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and other digital collectibles (NFTs). It functions similarly to a physical wallet, but instead of storing cash and credit cards, it stores digital assets. Users can access their digital wallets through a private key or password and can use them to manage their assets, track transactions, and interact with other users on a blockchain network.

Digital wallets can be either custodial or non-custodial, with the former managed by a third-party service provider and the latter under the user's full control.
If you lose access to your wallet, you will also lose access to your digital collectibles stored in that wallet. It is crucial to back up your wallet’s private key or seed phrase in a safe and secure place. Without these, you may not be able to recover your digital collectibles.

It is important to note that Balmain and Space Runners will not be responsible for any lost or stolen digital collectibles.
This design tool leverages cutting-edge Generative Artificial Intelligence algorithms to assist in the design process.
Users can input words as their design preferences, and the AI generates a range of suggestions.
These can then be further customized by preference and style, or redesigned from scratch.
No, this tool is designed to be user-friendly and doesn't require any design expertise.
Yes, we take data security seriously.
We use robust encryption and follow best practices to ensure your data and designs are protected.
