Louis Vuitton steps into a new era of footwear with the introduction of the Sneakerina, a bold hybrid that merges the poise of ballet with the pulse of streetwear. Conceived for the modern woman in motion, the design challenges traditional categories, offering a silhouette that is both effortlessly refined and functionally dynamic.
The Sneakerina brings together two seemingly opposing worlds—the delicate structure of a ballet flat and the grounded energy of a sneaker. A seamless, sculptural form, its clean lines and understated profile are underpinned by precision engineering, resulting in a shoe that speaks to freedom, style, and ease in equal measure. At its core is the sacchetto construction technique, a time-honored method that makes the sole infinitely flexible. This craftsmanship allows the shoe to move with the foot like a second skin, delivering a sensation of fluidity and comfort while maintaining the architectural elegance Louis Vuitton is known for.
Visually, the collection makes an immediate impression. A rich palette of fuchsia, forest green, beige, black, white, and shimmering metallics—pink, blue, silver—offers variety without compromising sophistication. The material choices are equally nuanced: technical satin, sequined embroidery, velvet-effect leather, metallic finishes, and tactile mesh-leather combinations elevate each pair into wearable art. Designed to adapt across contexts, the Sneakerina can be dressed up or down, making it as relevant for the sidewalk as it is for the soirée.
As always, the maison’s legacy is subtly embedded throughout. The Monogram canvas, LV Circle, and other signature motifs lend a quiet yet unmistakable brand presence, reframing heritage codes within a thoroughly modern vocabulary. The Sneakerina is crafted for a lifestyle that moves quickly but demands beauty in every detail.
Available online via Louisvuitton.com and the Louis Vuitton app starting April 4th, with in-store availability globally from April 11th, 2025, the Sneakerina arrives at a moment when fashion is craving fluidity, versatility, and meaning. Louis Vuitton answers with a shoe that doesn’t walk a line—it dances across it.
