A few months ago we showcased First Lady Michelle Obama wearing green Cap-Toe Lanvin sneakers. Obama has been photographed a number of times wearing assorted Lanvin colorways and styles. As Lanvin‘s footwear campaign is becoming increasingly urban, the French fashion house has put out a handful of models that could appeal to the average sneaker head. The latest of such models is this ‘Zig Zag’ version of their high-top trainer, the sneaker fitted with a blue denim base and bold red zig-zag accents. Topped off with black patent piping, waxed laces, and a grey outsole; Lanvin’s lux history is anything but left out of the shoe’s design. The high-tops are available now at high-end sneaker boutiques.

You think you’re “ballin’” in your Premium Air Force 1s or limited adidas Superstars, huh? Well, you’re not, I’m sorry. With luxurious materials and stately designs, independent company Lanvin recently offered an introspective look at their Spring/Summer 2009 Collection. The brand provides exorbitant elegance for almost any leisurely occasion–sailing, walking, Hypbeasting, tennis–with the aptly named Lanvin Hi, Lanvin Tennis, and Lanvin Boat. Unfortunately, the shoes are retailed off at prices that jump as high as $650, so you bettah have some cheddar if you yearn for a pair. Images via colette.
