Louis Vuitton’s Latest Drop Nails The Narrow Sneakers Trend
LV debuts a hybrid: retro sneakers meets ballet flats.
The shift is undeniable: flat, narrow, vintage-inspired sneakers are dominating the fashion landscape. Proof? Even Louis Vuitton, the mastermind behind the iconic, chunky Archlight, has embraced this minimalist trend by debuting the LV Sneakerina. This move signals a significant pivot, showcasing the widespread appeal of streamlined silhouettes.
But this being Louis Vuitton, there’s always a twist. Rather than simply going retro, the brand has turned its attention to another unlikely style muse: the ballet flat.
The LV Sneakerina blends the sleek silhouette of vintage narrow sneakers with the grace of ballet flats.
The result is a hybrid silhouette that blends the grace of ballet slippers with the ease of vintage trainers. Ballet sneakers are having a serious moment right now – and it’s not hard to see why. Lightweight, feminine, and just structured enough to move beyond full-on balletcore, they strike that perfect balance between elegance and everyday wearability. With the Sneakerina, LV brings its luxury savoir-faire to the trend.
Drawing on classic ballet flat DNA, the Sneakerina is reimagined with sleek contours, featherlight construction, and an ultra-flexible sole designed for real movement. The secret lies in its Sacchetto construction – an Italian shoemaking technique where the lining and insole are stitched together without a rigid midsole. The result? A second-skin fit that flexes naturally with every step.
From bold fuchsia and metallic silver to soft, versatile beige, the LV Sneakerina comes in a full spectrum of shades – because one colour never fits all.
With nine colour variations, the Sneakerina caters to diverse style preferences. From bold fuchsia and green to versatile beige and white, there's a shade for every wardrobe. And for those who appreciate subtle branding, select pairs feature the iconic LV monogram discreetly placed on the side.
What makes the Sneakerina such a wardrobe MVP is its versatility. Going full bloke-core? Pair it with jorts. Feeling flirty and femme? Style it with a flowy skirt. Whether you’re dressing up or down, these luxe flats slide effortlessly into any outfit rotation.
