Louis Vuitton’s Creative Director Kim Jones has given us another small preview of what we can expect from his forthcoming NikeLab collaboration. In the Instagram photo, which shows a volt green sock-like upper on a white midsole with a branded heel tab, Jones explains that the L.W.P. (short for light weight performance) shoe will utilize updated modern technology. In the past, Nike has used the L.W.P. moniker on a number of different models, but given the variety of footwear used in NikeLab’s previous designer collaborations, we’ll have to wait and see what Jones has up his sleeve. Keep your eyes on Kim Jones’s IG feed for more teasers leading up to the July 2016 launch.
