The color palette is simplistic, with only hues of black and white, designed by Virgil Abloh. There are details such as the LV 408 Trainer tooling that is below the phoenix-marked upper that is paired with a vamp strap. The hi-top look is made from very soft calf leather materials. The embroidery is accented with a distinctive emblem on the side. All pairs are made in Italy and needs up to 7 hours of stitching to complete the look. Rounding out the boots include a script signature at the back and Monogram florals at the sole unit.
