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.

Keep your eyes on Kim Jones’s IG feed for more teasers leading up to the July 2016 launch.
