Luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton has partnered with A Bathing Ape founder NIGO on the LV² collection, which will include reimagined versions of the beloved LV Trainer Sneakers in new fluorescent colorways.
More specifically, the LV Trainer Sneaker will be delivered in vibrant blue, purple, green, and orange. These colors will dominate the silhouettes, taking up the entire upper, midsole, and side panel portions, while the outsoles are dressed in jet-black "gel-inject" material. Other features include black Louis Vuitton branding on the sneakers' collars and tongue, as well as the brand's signature Monogram Flowers, which are embedded in the heels.
According to the company, each sneaker takes approximately seven hours to stitch, which, in part, explains their high $1,250 price tag. The new eye-catching LV Trainer Sneakers are currently available on the Louis Vuitton website.
