Glossy Alligator-Textured Sneakers

Louis Vuitton's LV Trainer Shoe is Made with Premium Materials

Luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton introduces its latest update of the LV Trainer sneakers -- this time, it arrives in a glossy finish with black alligator textures. The silhouette retains the original vintage basket design and the uppers are constructed from smooth calf leather in black.

The alligator skin patterning is informed through embossed processes. The tongue is also complete in black along with the matching tonal lacing system and rubber eyelets as well. The heel is notably marked with "#54" and the sidewalls are subtly perforated. Branding details are informed with a golden trim surrounding "Louis Vuitton" and an additional layer of leather materials are added to the forefoot and the mudguard. To round out the entire design are three flower monograms at the back.
