Insect-Covered Sneakers

These Valentino Low-Tops for Spring 2016 Feature Delicate Butterflies

Nothing says spring quite like the imagery of the butterfly, and for the brand's Spring 2016 collection these Valentino Low-Tops are just the ticket to help start the season off on the right foot (figuratively and literally, of course). Luxuriously appointed with butterflies that have been silkscreened onto the canvas upper, the Valentino Low-Tops feature a vulcanized rubber sole for durability and a leather heel tab for an extra touch of luxury and comfort.

What's more interesting about these Valentino Low-Tops is their unexpected nature; few would guess that a brand synonymous with luxury would ever create a pair of canvas sneakers. However, it's clearly Valentino's commitment to staying cutting-edge that has prompted its foray into more casual styles.
