Louis Vuitton 'Remastered' a Pair of Team Jordans

Louis Vuitton has crafted a new "sneaker boot" that owes a lot to the Air Jordan line.

These days it's common practice for high end brands to riff on classic sneaker silhouettes.

Some of the results have been more celebrated than others, and there's definitely a fine art to properly executing such a shoe. Saint Laurent Paris has gotten a pass with their Jordan 1 remix, as has Common Projects for its premium take on the Stan Smith. Showing how not to do it is Louis Vuitton and its new Trailblazer sneaker. The design uses elephant print-looking pattern around the back end, and has a shape that's more Jordan Flight 45 than it is Jordan 3. As it's a Louis Vuitton shoe, it will cost you: there is one version priced at $995 and one at $1,990. For those that don't have anything better to do with their hard-earned money, the Louis Vuitton Trailblazer is available now.
