After getting a first look at Louis Vuitton‘s Archlight sneaker, we recently received a closer look at the lauded malletier futuristic footwear model.

Part of Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection, the Archlight sneaker is LV creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s take on the sneaker trend we’ve seen in fashion. The new footwear silhouette features a low cut upper stopping right under the ankle accented with an oversized tongue and striking springy wave-shaped outsole. Sporty colorways come in the form of pop color mashups and black-on-black looks constructed from an assortment of technical fabrics. But the most standout look of the Archlight has to be the white look sporting Louis Vuitton’s classic monogram pattern.

Priced at approximately $1,090 USD, Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2018 Archlight sneaker is available now at select retailers and LV flagship locations.

In other Louis Vuitton news, the luxury label’s Cruise 2019 collection is set to show on the French Riviera.
