The ballet flat has long stamped its dainty footprint firmly on the fashion landscape. Taking inspiration from ballet pointe shoes, this more wearable pump has chasséd itself into the wardrobe of many a fashion fanatic (luckily ditching the ability to do an arabesque as a prerequisite for purchasing). Its relevance has rarely waned, and this spring Louis Vuitton has given the beloved silhouette a refreshed makeover of the sporty-chic variety.
Coined the LV Sneakerina, the new design blends the edge of a trainer with the sleekness of a ballet flat. Retaining the streamlined shape of the latter, donning these simple yet effective kicks means you can run for the bus and look good doing it. Ultra-light and made flexible by a soft Sachetto construction, the model comes in a range of colourways from an understated white and muted beige to a hot fuchsia and dancefloor-ready silver. Making use of various materials like velvet-effect leather, satin, mesh and even sequins, the newly released shoe has a variation for every occasion. Incorporating LV’s signature monogram pattern onto a subtle heel tab, LV lettering is also stretched across the side in a clean graphic style that elevates the sportswear feel. The LV Sneakerina will be available online from April 4 and lands in stores worldwide on April 11. The perfect pair of spring kicks, make sure you don’t miss out.
