French fashion house Lanvin throws another offering into the pool of designer sneakers, revisiting the use of metallic colors for their latest high-top sneaker. Featuring a metallic blue toe cap and heel panel, the model is offset by an otherwise earthy color scheme of browns and blacks. As if the glistening accent panels weren’t enough, the shoe also alternates between suede and leather for the rest of the upper, creating even more of a contrast. The sneakers are available now from Brown’s and Lanvin boutiques across the globe.

Luxury brand Lanvin has produced quite the collection of shoes over the past several months. The Parisian fashion house is doing an incredible job incorporating that chic designer quality into otherwise simple sneaker silhouettes. In this particular low top trainer, patent leather and patchwork suede come together to create a beauty not unlike the pair of shoes First Lady Obama received flak for wearing earlier this year. Designer brands do demand designer prices, but if luxury is in your budget, the high-end trainers are available now from Browns.

Capitalizing on the recent Michelle Obama footwear media frenzy, Lanvin continues to appeal to its American audience with these velvety pieces of perfection. Unfortunately, the same connection isn’t made with the average sneakerhead’s wallet, the shoes sporting a price tag set at around $730 US. Still, it’s hard not to appreciate the metallic blue accents and waxed navy laces against the teasing visual texture of velvet. If you think your checkbook can stomach them, they’re available now at Browns.

First Lady Michelle Obama loves her Lanvin Cap Toe sneakers! She’s been spotted twice rockin’ these designer sneaks and caught some slack for being seen in such a pricey shoe. These casual yet chic sneakers have been all over the media after the First Lady was photographed in them.

The Lanvin Cap Toe sneakers retail for $585 at Barneys NY.

You think you’re “ballin’” in your Premium Air Force 1s or limited adidas Superstars, huh? Well, you’re not, I’m sorry.

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.
