Alongside the impressive outfits in the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2024 collection, Nicolas Ghesquière also unveiled a new style of sports shoes, a masterpiece blending classic lines with contemporary spirit, the LV Rush Sneaker.
Boldly choosing the beautiful Lake Maggiore “modestly” surrounding the remote Isola Bella, the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2024 collection “paints” a portrait of modern “mermaids,” far from the dreamy image we’re accustomed to. In the imagination of creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, the mermaids possess a resilient soul, not surrendering to any challenge, ready to trade their fish tails for leggings and chunky LV sneakers! This has resulted in impressive combinations of dynamic outfits and classic baroque styles from the 18th century.
The ethereal appearance that mermaids possess in the new Cruise collection by the French fashion house is adorned with fresh pairs of sneakers, created and named by Nicolas, called LV Rush. It is a shoe design that blends the traditional boxing shoe silhouette with the modern long-distance walking boot. The integration of these two signatures has created a comfortable pair of sneakers, providing comfort to the wearer while still attracting attention with its distinctive design.
LV Rush Sneaker comes in three versions with three different lengths: low-cut, mid-high, and high-top through the ankle. The color palette of the LV Rush shoe includes three dominant colors: white, black, and gray. Among them, there is a premium version with a bold red accent, mixed with gold-orange hues at the heel. With the intricate upper made of suede and calf leather combined with rubber, the quality of LV Rush Sneaker is optimized for daily wear, thanks to its lightweight inner structure combined with a highly flexible sole. Meanwhile, the metal LV logo engraved at the ankle and the lace details influenced by long-distance walking shoes contribute to the new Louis Vuitton sneaker design achieving absolute points in the eyes of fashion enthusiasts. Moreover, the graphic wave pattern throughout the shoe contributes to a unique appearance, fitting the overall inspiration of modern beauty for the new-age mermaids. Combining the rococo decorative style of the 18th century with an overall dynamic style, LV Rush is certainly a standout sports shoe reflecting Nicolas Ghesquière’s unprecedented vision.
