SPORT MEETS LUXURY The LV 408 Trainer by Louis Vuitton gets a Denim Update
F
irst revealed roughly a year ago, Louis Vuitton‘s low-top LV 408 Trainer has a new update for the season. It is inspired by retro basketball shoes and perfectly blends the world of sports with luxury. Designed by Virgil Abloh, artistic director of Louis Vuitton's menswear and hailed as the millennial Karl Lagerfeld, the silhouette plays with the often-referenced idea of sport luxury and is loaded with branded details. This iteration of the LV Trainer is offered in a low-top,
featuring monogram denim on the upper. The shoe is branded with a special shooting star graphic logo that was first unveiled during the FW20 paris Fashion Week runway show, as well as more traditional motifs on the tongue and heel. Monogram flowers then appear on the rubber outsole to complete the look. Though the LV 408 Trainer is certainly no stranger to attention-grabbing makeups, this denim-coated iteration may be one of its most notable styles yet.
