Run with it
Sneakers and high fashion have never been the most intimate of bedfellows, so the concept of a 'high fashion sneaker' is a bit confounding. A number of designers have cottoned on to the idea recently, but it seems elite atelier Lanvin remains one of their biggest advocates…
The good news is that the latest lot isn't as ostentatious as you'd think. The shoes are discreet, stylish, even a bit 80s- although the idea of an elite Parisian fashion house branching into, now throwback, gym kit is peculiar.
If you are among the elite few whose sneakers must be of the highest end, we sympathise, but think you'll enjoy the python skin low trainers in dark green ($13,300). If, however you're more of a Fresh Prince kind of guy, we'd go for the bright green boot trainers in lambskin (HK$8,400). The sneakers are available at Lanvin, Shop 3, G/F, New Henry House, 10 Ice House Street, Central, Hong Kong. tel; 2205 0013
