According to a new report from the online luxury consignment shop via Bloomberg, the land of start-ups can’t get enough of Louis Vuitton‘s Damier high-top sneaker; more specifically, the Graphite Canvas Hero from LV’s 2008 fall collection. The Silicon Valley is far from being recognized as the mecca of fashion, but in case you’re curious about which particular crepes the geekiest minds have their eyes on, The RealReal‘s got you. The leather-constructed shoe which retailed for approximately $745 USD  is currently reselling in a bevy of color schemes starting at $500 USD on the store’s website.

Folks from the West Coast are also lacing up to a handful of other high-end sneakers spanning Gucci, Lanvin and Givenchy to name a few. On the opposite end, New Yorkers are more enamored by Common Projects, Balenciaga and Maison Margiela.
