This Time Out sneaker is a brilliant collaboration between Chinese artist Sun Yitian and LV’s Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière—a fusion of high fashion and playful artistry. Renowned for his vibrant paintings of mass-produced toys, Sun Yitian infuses LV’s iconic aesthetic with whimsy: adorable animal characters printed on the Monogram canvas, adding a cheerful, lively charm that makes every step feel like a nod to creative expression. It’s not just a sneaker; it’s a wearable art piece that balances LV’s timeless luxury with playful personality.
- Upper: LV-exclusive printed material – Features Sun Yitian’s custom animal motifs on LV’s classic Monogram base, ensuring the vibrant graffiti design resists fading or peeling with daily wear. The material is lightweight yet sturdy, keeping the sneaker’s shape while showcasing the artist’s work vividly.
- Lining & Insole: Sheepskin – Wraps feet in ultra-soft comfort, with a smooth texture that prevents friction and irritation even during all-day wear. The sheepskin insole also wicks away moisture, keeping feet dry and fresh, while adding a touch of luxury that aligns with LV’s standards.
- Outsole: Thick rubber – Delivers dual benefits of anti-slip grip and wear resistance: the textured surface stays steady on wet pavements, tile floors, or city sidewalks, while the durable rubber stands up to repeated use (perfect for daily commutes or casual outings).
The sneaker’s whimsical graffiti and neutral Monogram base make it easy to pair with diverse outfits, adding a fun twist to both casual and polished looks:
- Casual Daily: Pair with cropped jeans, a plain white tee, and a denim jacket – the animal prints pop against simple pieces, turning a basic outfit into a fashion statement.
- Weekend Brunch: Match with a flowy linen dress (pastel or neutral tones) or a knit sweater and midi skirt – balances playfulness with elegance, ideal for coffee dates or park walks.
- Art & City Explorations: Style with a leather tote, a graphic sweatshirt, and jogger pants – the wearable art vibe complements gallery visits or urban sightseeing, keeping you comfortable while standing out.
- Family Outings: Wear with comfortable shorts (summer) or corduroy pants (fall) – the cute animal motifs add a kid-friendly charm, making it perfect for trips to the zoo or weekend adventures.
