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.

Luxury Lanvin sneakers have been spotted on everyone from Michelle Obama to Jay-Z. So it’s no surprise that they are some great designer sneakers in the Fall 09/Winter 10 line. These khaki and gray Lanvin High Trainers were ripped from the runway. The design house flipped the classic laced high trainer by combining several materials; jersey, felt and suede resulting in a super luxe and eye catching sneaker. Also an attention grabber are the metal eyelet pieces. These trainers are hot and can be worn with just about anything. Lanvins unfortunately are not recession friendly, the High Trainers retail for $895.

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 green leather sneaker has a metallic green/patent cap toe, grey grosgrain ribbon laces and a rubber sole; the grey trim simply sets these shoes off. Design style is classic, while the colors make the sneaker really stand out. The Cap Toe sneakers are a fashion-savvy girl’s dream. They can be worn to the office or running errands on the weekend. The Lanvin Cap Toe sneakers retail for $585 at Barneys NY.
