These designs made its debut on the FW22 runway and has recently been made available on Louis Vuitton&#8217;s website in Black and White colorways, each retailing for US$1660. This price point is backed by the seven-hour-long stitching process involved in the making of every LV Trainer 2.

Now, clearer images of the Louis Vuitton LV Trainer 2 from the house&#8217;s FW22 show have surfaced.<\/p>\n<p>Looking fresh and familiar all at once, this new LV Trainer 2 bears all the signature trademarks of Abloh\u2014a high-top sillhouette that is inspired by basketball. 90s basketball sneakers like the Air Jordan 6, 7 and 8 models provide the main design inspo, and throwback elements like hook-and-loop ankle straps, exaggerated tongues and chunky outsoles can be seen on this shoe.<\/p>\n<p>Being the luxe version of a basketball sneaker, Louis Vuitton made sure that the LV Trainer 2 is constructed with full grain leather and premium nubuck. Color-wise, the sneaker appears in a range of colorways including Black, White, Purple\/Pink and Sky Blue.<\/p>\n<p>The Louis Vuitton LV Trainer 2 is slated to arrive in the coming weeks, so stay
