Hit the Slopes With Louis Vuitton's LV Trainer Snow Boot

Virgil Abloh‘s impact on Louis Vuitton is nothing short of monumental, having inflicted his streetwear lens on the world of high fashion by introducing skateboarding, snowboarding, and basketball cues to the luxury house. One of those moments fell upon the Louis Vuitton LV Trainer, a sneaker endorsed by both the crème de la crème of fashion and the kids that held Abloh on his worthy pedestal, and now the silhouette has been given a winterized makeover to become the LV Trainer Snow Boot.

Served up in a tactical black colorway or a nautical “Marine” take, we find the LV Flower Monogram taking center stage across the boot’s entirety as it decorates the hard-wearing nylon construction. Elsewhere, rubberized panels are strategically placed on areas prone to high impacts, such as the lateral-side mids, while LV Trainer traditions like the lateral front-quarter vent remain in place.

Rope laces thread through metal triangular eyelets and technical hook-links, before a stopper toggle on the laces is added to make it easier to adjust the boot and secure them on your foot. Other elements designed to aid in snowy escapes include a technical mesh inner lining and webbing strap on the elongated tongue, and a sturdier, heavier sole unit that’s been equipped with grippy studs on the toe bumper. However, LV touches appear as expected on the heel and midsole.

Take a look at the Louis Vuitton LV Trainer Snow Boot above, and pick up a pair for your next après-ski adventure online or in boutiques around the world now for $1,920 USD.
