Footwear brand Lanvin has officially unveiled a new version of its popular 'Curb' sneaker, which became a staple piece for the brand due to its skate-inspired aesthetics and 90s-era appeal. The latest iteration, dubbed the 'Python Print Leather Curb Sneakers,' features the same chunky silhouette but delivers it in a reptilian-inspired print.
What's more, adding to the shoe's avant-garde style, the shoe blends multiple fabrics and materials, including suede, mesh, leather, and of course, a python print construction. Elsewhere, the shoe features a thick padded quilted tongue, metallic eyelets, and waxed woven herringbone laces.
The one-of-kind Python Print Leather Curb Sneaker is now available to purchase on Lanvin's website and at its physical retail locations.
