Virgil’s New LV Trainers Are Made From Old Louis Vuitton Shoes
Louis Vuitton is prepping the release of a new version of the LV Trainer. For Spring/Summer 2021, the upcycling collection, as it’s referred to, consists of models that have been made out of pre-existing LV Trainers.
Virgil Abloh’s 2019 LV Trainers were disassembled and transformed to create new versions of the silhouette, leaving no two pairs exactly the same. The upcycled Trainers are offered in supple calfskin and suede, with eye-catching tie-dye laces. Five new low-top colorways are featured in the SS21 upcycling collection, each boasting an “LV Upcycling” edging on the heel, the Louis Vuitton signature on the side, and monogram flowers on the sole. The sneakers then come with a fluorescent tag on the right foot.
Louis Vuitton is also giving you the opportunity to customize the LV Trainer using accompanying assembly instructions for centring or cutting and excess stitching threads.
It remains to be seen when the upcycled LV Trainers will become available, so be sure to check back with us for release information.

Louis Vuitton Iridescent Luxembourg Rivoli Sneaker Release
The iridescent LV Monogram, a key theme in Virgil Abloh‘s Spring/Summer 2019 men’s show, makes its way onto two Louis Vuitton footwear silhouettes. The first pair comes in the form of the Rivoli sneaker boot where the shimmering pattern adorns the side panels and toe box. This suede hi-top model also features a branded Velcro strap that can be fixed from the heel or the front, large branding at the tongue, and leather lining.
The Luxembourg opts for a classic tennis shoe build and utilizes the same iridescent Monogram textile all across the sides of the sneaker, wrapping around the back — only divided by a thin leather strip at the heel. Branding comes in the form of embossed Monogram Flowers at the Luxembourg’s black rubber outsole, and gold debossing at the heel and tongue.
Made in Italy, both the Luxembourg and Rivoli can be found now on Louis Vuitton’s online store for a price of $965 USD and $875 USD, respectively.
