Louis Vuitton Introduces the New LV Trainer 2
A ’90s dream.
Louis Vuitton honored Virgil Abloh‘s legacy with a collection inspired by Abloh’s most ground-breaking designs across his eight seasons with LV. While most of the footwear presented at the Thursday show was archival, new LV x Nike Air Force 1 colorways were introduced as well as a new trainer silhouette dubbed the Trainer 2.
Revealed via LV footwear designer Mathias Patillon, the forthcoming sneaker combines elements of vintage ’90s basketball sneakers, including Patrick Ewing’s, British Knights, Charles Barkley’s signature sneakers and the Air Jordan 6, 7 and 8.
The silhouette sees numerous color combinations from classic collegiate shades to bombastic purple and sky blue iterations. The throwback aesthetic continues onto the shoe’s tongue where an LV logo intersects with a basketball graphic.
Stay tuned for official release details and pricing of the LV Trainer 2.
