French luxury brand Louis Vuitton’s latest lifestyle sneaker silhouette, the Regatta, pays tribute to the fashion house’s storied sporting history with an Americas Cup 2017 insignia emblazoned discreetly upon its midsole. Aside from its maritime inspirations, the shoes feature a neoprene upper, a branded Velcro strap, and a Tubular-esque midsole, all of which point toward the Maison taking significant design cues from Japanese designer and adidas collaborator Yohji Yamamoto. The sporty shoes are available in three polychromatic colorways: Bleu Pacifique, Rouge, and White and are available upon inquiry. Check out the LV site for more details.
