Luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton introduces the new LV Fusion Derby Trainer shoes for the Spring/Summer 2021 season. The brand focuses on a smart casual design for the season and the traditional Derby shoe serves as the foundation to the new shoe.
It is showcased through the sole unit and is available in either a black or white glazed calf leather material. It also boasts a traditional Derby upper and adorned with details that are subtle. This includes the tongue emblazoned with LV branding in a mesh material. Plastic eyelets can be seen at the top and bottom -- all of which sits on top of a thick formal midsole foundation. The bright green and red colorway has a sneaker centric sole unit.
