Lots of research and development goes into a $180 Asics runner, a $250 Air Jordan or even a $100 Under Armour runner.
These new Lanvin Men's Runner feature an upper with 40% calf skin, 30% polyamide, 30% polyester and have a 100% calf skin liner. And they're hand-made in Europe. So they retail for $816.
They're a "running-style" runner, so they might not even be worth taking out for an actual run, but they are available now in three colorways over at LN-CC.com.
