When it comes to street style and athleisure, no one really pushes the envelope like Ayushmann Khurrana. Thanks to the immensely talented stylist that Isha Bhansali is, this should not come as a surprise. However, that does not mean that his outfits no longer turn heads.

On the contrary, his ensembles are getting more radical and idiosyncratic by the day.

At a time when all major fashion brands and the industry itself is desperately trying to come up with more sustainable practices, Ayushmann, in his outfit for the New Delhi premiere for his latest film, Bala, seems to be showing that sustainable fashion, and clothes made from recyclable materials, can not only be extremely fashion-centric but also the necessary way forward.

Ayushmann was dressed in a very basic set of white t-shirt and pants, and coupled a rather sweet looking pair of white chunky sneakers with it. On top of this basic outfit, he threw on a rather dope looking translucent, dual-toned shacket.

The shacket, t-shirt and the pants come courtesy of SIX5SIX, an up and coming sportswear and street wear brand, that has been doing some really interesting experiments and coming up with some mind-bogglingly good sartorial pieces.

What we love about the jacket is the fact that how each of the dual layers pops up and stands out, thanks to its neon colours. We also love the quasi-functional vibe that the shacket lends to the overall outfit.

Coming to the sneaker, they clearly are one of the most aggressively panelled pair we have ever seen. These are the Original Track Trainers in White from Balenciaga. These Balenciagas, when they were new, retailed for about $895, or Rs 65,000. Let's just leave it at that.

Luckily, the simplistic colour of the sneakers does a really good job of hiding the number of layers and panels that make up the body.

The colour, however, does add some awe and further aggravates the 'chunkiness' of the sneakers. The technical panels do make a rather interesting silhouette.

All in all, we really like the technical clothing-meets-street wear vibe that this ensemble is going for. Kudos Ayushmann and Isha, job well done.
