Luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton introduces a new iteration of the Beverly Hill slip-on sneaker model that is inspired by skateboarding culture. The shoe is detailed in an entirely white colorway and has an oversized LV monogram embossed throughout the calf leather upper.
The heel tab also features more branding detail, and notably, the silhouette boasts a slightly puffy look that is offset by the thick lightweight outsole in white made from rubber. It is finished with matching stitching for a clean look overall. Rounding out the new shoe are the elastic inserts that make it a comfortable fit and golden branding details of the brand's name on each footbed. The shoe is now available online at Louis Vuitton.
