At last, something worth to be checking out at Lanvin has finally arrived. Seasons after seasons when Lanvin came out to offer their hi-top sneakers, all my reaction is just to give a 20-cents facial expression: unimpressed. Just like Anna Wintour gave her 'curved' smile when she saw a bad design, if you know what I mean. Not that I hate 'em, but I think there's something missing in the sneakers. Probably becoz most of them are canvas (I know they had exotic skin too), or maybe becoz the color combo is not right. I've tried and tested some of them before during summer and winter sales - at Harvey Nicks, Selfridges and Harrods - but still it doesn't excite me to own one.
But voila... as if some je ne sais quoi has hit on it, I think the new sneakers looks amazing. I don't really know what or how, but it just click to my likings. Maybe becoz of the pebbled leather that is truly tempting (since I love leather footwear!). Or the playing with the white piping and darker body that looks fantastic and its dark bronze color that exudes sophistication beneath its simplicity. Or the design in general that rocks both street edgy and sporty chic. Or probably becoz it looks as if it's been carved from a single piece of leather! I dunno what... yet this new Lanvin hi-tops has that je ne sais quoi.
Price? About USD$800. Whooops...!
