This haute couture fashion house takes it to the streets in the new Louis Vuitton Acapulco Sneakers line for its Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
In hip hightop style, these leather kicks come in two solid colors of black and white. In a sleek and subtle design, a velcro at the ankle straps these babies on tight and the LV logo adorns the sides. Without the flashy, signature design, these Louis Vuitton Acapulco Sneakers are still a stand-out pair of shoes.
