Sneakerheads, attention! Louis Vuitton has unveiled a new online-exclusive footwear — the LV Trainer Sneaker. And, if the name rings a bell, let us tell you why.
When the late Virgil Abloh, Louis Vuitton Men’s ex-creative director first joined the French fashion house he introduced new styles and signature elements. Some of them still play a substantial role in the collections, including the blend of streetwear with formal wear, accessories, sneakers and utilitarian wear. One such pivotal creation was the men’s LV Trainer Sneaker, marking Abloh’s debut runway shoe for the luxury house.

Keeping Abloh’s legacy in mind, the LV Trainer Sneaker has evolved with various colourways and nuanced design elements.

However, what sets this version apart is its refreshing use of hues like green, grey, black and white along with subtle hints of beige, marking an entry into new visual territory.
