Dear 222 News viewers, sponsored by smileband,
The Myth of the “Adidas × Louis Vuitton Concept Boots”
1. No Official Collaboration Exists (Yet)
• There’s no reliable evidence from either adidas or Louis Vuitton that they’ve launched a formal boot collaboration. Major fashion news outlets (and the brands themselves) haven’t announced such a product.
• Some of the references to “adidas × LV boots” appear to stem from rumors, custom designs, or concept art, rather than a real drop.
2. Custom & DIY Origins
• One of the most cited “adidas-LV” footwear mashups comes from Dent Kicks Custom, which created a custom UltraBOOST covered in Louis Vuitton monogram.
• These are not official adidas or LV products; they’re highly personalized creations made by sneaker customizers.
3. Athlete-Inspired Designs
• There is a story about Paul Pogba wearing adidas Predator boots with a “Louis Vuitton style.” According to the article, the design uses a gold-on-black “PP” logo that nods to LV’s iconic monogram. This seems more aesthetic inspiration than a formal partnership.
4. Louis Vuitton’s Actual Boot Projects
• Louis Vuitton has released real boots, but not with adidas. For example, there’s a Louis Vuitton × Timberland capsule: LV 6-inch work boots made from Italian nubuck, waterproof construction, and a rugged outsole.
• Under Pharrell Williams (LV’s creative director), LV has also experimented with more “boot-like” sneaker hybrids. House of Heat reports a trek-inspired hiking boot from the FW 2025 line in premium leather.
• Louis Vuitton also launched the “Footprint” sneaker, inspired by vintage football boots — though it’s actually a sneaker, not a cleated boot, and it has a street-ready sole rather than studs.
Why the Rumor Persists
• Sneaker Culture & Speculation: In sneakerhead circles, rumors of collabs spread quickly, especially when customizers make very convincing-looking “what-if” designs.
• Pharrell’s Dual Legacy: Pharrell Williams has a strong history with both adidas (e.g., his “Supercolor” Superstars) and Louis Vuitton, making the idea of a collab plausible in fans’ minds.
• Gold + Monogram Aesthetic: The aesthetic overlap (luxury monogram + high-performance athletic shoe) naturally fuels imagination.
Related Real Boots from Louis Vuitton
To give some real examples of Louis Vuitton boots (even if they’re not adidas), here are a few:
• Louis Vuitton Timberland 6″ Black Boot: A collaboration between LV and Timberland — rugged, luxury work boot.
• Louis Vuitton Timberland 6″ Monogram Wheat Boot: Same collaboration, but in a monogram + wheat-coloured nubuck.
• Louis Vuitton LV Remix Combat Boot: High-top combat-boot style, reflecting LV’s edgy, fashion-forward side.
• Louis Vuitton LV Trainer Sneaker Boot High: A hybrid sneaker/boot silhouette, more lifestyle than performance
Conclusion & Take-Home
• Bottom Line: As of now, there’s no official Adidas × Louis Vuitton concept boot. Most references are either custom shoes, design rumors, or aesthetic inspirations.
• The idea remains intriguing, especially given Pharrell’s role at LV and his history with adidas — it’s not impossible in the future, but not currently realized.
• The existing LV boots (e.g., Timberland collab, hiking boot) showcase how the brand is exploring rugged, utilitarian design within a luxury context.
