Louis Vuitton: Paris fashion house since 1854
What kind of brand is Louis Vuitton?
Louis Vuitton is a fashion house founded in Paris in 1854 by Louis Vuitton, who began by making travel trunks. W 1896, the company introduced its distinctive Monogram canvas.

Louis Vuitton Fit and Sizing
For the LV Trainer from the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collection, the brand states explicitly that the model runs large and recommends choosing a size one size smaller than the one you usually wear.
According to Louis Vuitton, the Air Force 1 by Virgil Abloh uses Nike sizing (US men's sizes). For the basic Air Force 1, Nike says the model usually runs large because of its roomy toe box and recommends going half a size down from your usual Nike size. People with wide feet can stick with their usual size, according to Nike. Nike also notes that editions with a different upper material or midsole may fit differently, so check the size chart on the product page, and if in doubt, contact us.
