A few weeks ago, we presented you with an article about what would happen if the Xbox video game console were combined with exclusive Gucci designs and, well, something surprising was left that obviously sold expensively, because now Louis Vuitton collaborated with Nike with sneakers that designed by the recently deceased Virgil Abloh.
Sothebys, an auction house, announced the sale of 200 pairs of exclusive sneakers resulting from a collaboration between Nike and Louis Vuitton designed by Virgil Abloh, artistic director of the fashion house since 2018.
It’s about the first time this model is sold to the public, nails Nike Air Force 1 decorated with a combination of Louis Viutton’s two signature prints, the Monogram – which combines brown tones with the brand’s logo– and the Damier -a checkered design in cream and gray colours-.
This specific model, which will be auctioned online between January 26 and February 8 with a starting price of 2 thousand dollars, it will not be put up for auction or put up for sale at a later date.
The collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Nike, Sotheby’s noted in a statement, was designed for the Spring-Summer 2022 collection, and will be sold with a luxurious deep orange Louis Vuitton briefcase emblazoned with the Parisian company’s logo.
Sneakers, made with calf leather, will be offered in a variety of sizes, from 5 to 18 US sizing, and are a homage to the hip-hop culture that influenced the young designer of Ghanaian parents, who in 2018 became the first African-American to be appointed artistic director of a French luxury fashion house.
The funds obtained from the auction will go to “The Virgin Abloh ‘Port Modern’ Scholarship Fund”, which aims to promote the education of promising young black, African American or African descent.
