Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton, founded in 1854, began as a luxury trunk-maker. Footwear was a later addition, with the brand making its significant entry into the high-end sneaker market in the 21st century. Early st...eps included collaborations, notably with Kanye West in 2009, which first signaled its streetwear ambitions. The brand's present-day footwear identity was defined by the late Men's Artistic Director Virgil Abloh. Appointed in 2018, he masterfully merged luxury with street culture, creating iconic silhouettes like the LV Trainer and the futuristic Archlight. His tenure culminated in the monumental Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1 collaboration, cementing the brand's status as a dominant force in the luxury sneaker space. The future is now guided by Men's Creative Director Pharrell Williams. His debut collections, including the new LV ButterSoft sneaker, continue to evolve this hybrid model. Williams' focus emphasizes craftsmanship, vibrant color, and a deep connection to streetwear's cultural roots, ensuring Louis Vuitton remains a pivotal trendsetter in the footwear landscape.
