Back in summer 2018 when Virgil Abloh’s preliminary design notes from his budding post at Louis Vuitton<\/a> began to surface, it felt as though those highly anticipated musings would never reach retailers, much less consumers.<\/p>\n Fast forward almost a year ahead and the earliest releases from LV’s towering Artistic Director are finally here, including his vintage hoops-inspired Louis Vuitton Trainer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A statement piece from Louis Vuitton’s spring\/summer 2019 campaign, the shoe is largely representative of classic sneaker design dating back decades.<\/p>\n Of course, focused in the realm of basketball, the shoe is modernized with a luxury\u00a0sentiment while its color story can be traced back to hallmark\u00a0moments in Jordan Brand history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With an indirect reference to the Air Jordan 3 Black\/Cement, Abloh’s design, in contrast, triumphs in its ability to stand on its own esteem.<\/p>\n With “54” at the heel in an ode of the brand’s birth year, 1854, monogram flowers add a delightfulness to the outsole. Abloh, too, continues something he started with Nike and “The Ten” using the intimacy of his personal handwriting to pen “Louis Vuitton” at the lateral paneling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Abloh’s Louis Vuitton Trainer<\/strong> carries a hefty $1,200 price time and is currently available on the brand’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, potential buyers\u00a0are required to “call for availability” before purchase and subsequent delivery.<\/p>\n Update 3\/15:<\/strong> Alongside the “Black Cement” inspired colorway seen above, Virgil Abloh’s Louis Vuitton Trainer Sneaker appears ready for warmer weather with its White\/Green edition. Featuring premium materials, gold foil signature detailing for Abloh, and monogram flowers at the outsole, for availability\u00a0on this spring ready pair visit here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
