Product Introduction

Product Overview

The Louis Vuitton LV Trainer Sneaker in Noir Gris (Style: 1AKP7T) reinterprets the house’s signature basketball-inspired sneaker in a graphic black and gray two-tone palette. The upper combines plain calf leather with suede calf leather embossed with a distinctive vintage stereo-inspired pattern, while rubber signature details and a technical rubber outsole with Monogram Flowers complete the design.

Design & Materials

The upper combines smooth plain calf leather with contrasting suede calf leather in the Noir Gris colorway. The suede sections are embossed with a distinctive pattern inspired by vintage stereos, adding texture and graphic depth to the layered black and gray construction.

Inspired by vintage basketball sneakers, the LV Trainer features an elaborately constructed panelled upper, lace-up fastening, rubber signature details, and a removable lace accessory that continues the vintage stereo theme. A technical rubber outsole incorporating Monogram Flowers completes the design. The sneaker is made in Italy.
