LANVIN LOVES ACNE Capsule Collection F/W '09 Denim High-Top

For the 2009 F/W season, LANVIN collaborated with Swedish brand ACNE for a capsule collection (we're saw further 2009 and 2010 resurgence collections) that employed the sharp deconstructed tailoring of Alber Albaz with ACNE's expertise in the denim sphere.  A gem from this collection was this pair of high-tops in the style has made its way into the men's RTW collection every year since.  These appear to be dark blue but they are in fact dark grey with black patent piping.  The black waxed laces are a nice detail.  I get a lot of mileage out of these as they go with practically everything.  Think grey tailored shorts, black spiked belt, white tshirt, black puffer vest, black Ray-Ban Wayfarers.
