Lanvin returns to the 2000s with the skate sneaker

If initially ripped jeans, oversized sweatshirts and completely worn Converse were the right ingredients to immerse yourself in the role of the perfect 80s skater, by the time this style has taken on different connotations. On several occasion many designers have proposed a personal interpretation, conquering young people and shifting the attention (including skate) from the street to the catwalk. One of the latest cases is Lanvin that, under the guidance of its new creative director Bruno Sialelli, on the occasion of Fall Winter 2020 launched the ultra-chunky skate sneakers.

The shoe looks big and heavy, with the gaudy patterns of laces on a sole in the neutral tonality of black – cream – pink – blue- yellow. A particularly rounded shape and an imposing lacing system give an overall pleasant aspect. Looking at them, leading experts have certainly identified a clear resemblance to the very first Osiris D3 models.

But as it is well known, to shed light on and make an accessory desirable, it isn’t the object itself, but the person who wear it and the visibility that drags behind it. Even more, when it comes to Virgil Abloh and Travis Scott: undisputed forerunner of trend and youth fashions. Looking at the Italian scene, the rapper Sfera Ebbasta. This would explain why after one year Lanvin‘s sneakers are one of the models most in vogue. Focusing on today’s fashion, the brand has figured out how to talk to millennials by launching a sneaker that fully reflects the fascinating skate-culture of the 2000s. For those who want to buy them, you can find them at the maison’s officially website here, at the price 690 €.
