A tribute to icons from the past
May 16th, 2019
Virgil Abloh, through a post on Instagram, wanted to give us a first look at one of the upcoming sneakers that he designed for Louis Vuitton.
The low-cut sneaker completely dyed in orange is inspired by icons of the past like the Nike Air Force 2 Low and by the Louis Vuitton Don Sneaker from 2009 designed in collaboration with Kanye West. The upper made of premium leather features suede panels and decorative plastic inserts for greater support during walking. Naturally, the logos and scripts of the French maison are also applied.
