Python Patterned Luxury Sneakers

The Louis Vuitton Sneaker us the French House's Take on Cali Swag

— February 9, 2013 — Fashion
This new Louis Vuitton sneaker comes in three colorways as part of the fashion house's California spring/summer 2013 collection.

Traditionally known for more upscale, luxury items, Louis Vuitton takes its cue from the influx of street wear and sneaker fashions currently influencing designers. Instead of classy dress shoes, the French design house opted to create these shoes and appeal to a younger demographic.

The Louis Vuitton sneaker comes in three distinct colorways, each featuring their own set of fabrics. The all white Louis Vuitton sneaker features two white leather looks. The black colorway features dark dyed leather with a dark denim accent. Lastly, the royal blue colorway features python suede with white buttons.

The python suede falls more in line with Louis Vuitton's sensibilities than the other two colorways in terms of prestige and uniqueness.
