Snakeskin Outland Boots

These exquisite Louis Vuitton boots were designed for the Fall 2018 Menswear collection, Kim Jones' final collection for the house and a landmark moment that marked the end of his transformative seven-year tenure. Announcing his departure the morning of the show, Jones received a resounding ovation at the close, a testament to his profound impact on the brand. Throughout his time at Louis Vuitton, he redefined the maison's travel-centric heritage, constantly pushing the boundaries and infusing it with a selection of elevated utilitarian designs.

These hiking-inspired boots embody the essence of his farewell collection, which embraced the theme of luxury in the outdoors. Crafted from silvery-grey snakeskin and an embossed suede shaft with gold hardware, they exude a level of refinement not typically associated with hiking. A perfect encapsulation of Jones' ability to merge function with high-end fashion, these boots are a striking tribute to his legacy at Louis Vuitton.
