Luxury design house Givenchy has made some serious headway with their offerings of decidedly luxurious sneakers favored by rappers and the wealthy alike. For this Velro-strap mid-top sneaker, Givenchy’s signature star branding is forgone in favor of a more subdued embossed logo. An angle-cut collar gives the shoe a decidedly fashion-forward feel, but on the whole the sneaker is classic streetwear; with a simple paneled design and a perforated toebox. High-fashion footwear like these Givenchy kicks will set you back though, you can pick a pair up now at Ssense for $560.
