Featuring a gray plastic casing, a monochromatic blue backlit LCD screen, and four slim, linear directional buttons centered around the Balenciaga logo, the console boasts a design that serves as an aesthetic bridge between the 1990s style of the Nintendo Game Boy and the neo-cyberpunk lines of Tesla’s Cybertruck. It comes packaged in a carefully crafted, elegant box.
As previously mentioned, the device is currently an exclusive for the brand’s VICs (Very Important Clients), with no details available regarding any potential future commercialization.
