Sartorially radical, immediately recognizable, and bursting with technical innovations: when it comes to setting the bar for instant cult status, the new Loubishark sneaker has exactly what it takes. As sleek as it is fashion-forward, the latest addition to Christian Louboutin’s now-iconic sneaker offer combines Maison’s technical savoir-faire with an innate flair for the instantly covetable. christianlouboutin.com
Mixing materials and colours, the Loubishark features a hi-tech upper crafted from a total of 13 different components including suede leather panels, rubber and mesh giving it a modern sports-inflected feel.
Designed for the urban playground, the Loubishark pays close attention to detail featuring a shock-absorbing cushioned insole for increased protection.
Designed with a slightly wider toe box and a hollow midsole for maximum comfort, a tubular construction at the back allows for greater flexibility while the V-shaped tongue offers additional ease of wear.
Inspired in part by the track shoes of the ’70s, oversized moulded ridges recall Maison’s signature spikes, playing with proportions to create a statement look that won’t go unnoticed.
Contrasting Maison’s iconic red with a brilliant optic white for greater visual impact, the Loubishark’s highly graphic nature will appeal to style-makers and sartorially bold players alike who like to see and be seen.
With a full collection launch throughout the month of October, this style promises to become a trend-setting silhouette in its own right.
