They certainly aren't ! The top one is nothing much like a Louis Vuitton. The lower one is an obvious attempt at the LV look. It seems to be stark white. The genuine LV exists in 'pearl' rather than white in women's 'sneakers'.(There is no pearl in men's, just camel or black, both with dark blue cloth). The genuine shoe has a brown sole and the LV trademark is conspicuous in the pattern of the cloth i.e the letters LV, with the L crossed by the left of the V.The cloth in all LV sneakers, for 2006 at least, is blue whatever the colour of the trim.
I've heard there is a genuine, platinum-decorated sole made by a certain maker of women's tennis shoes. I've read the profile of the company, which is also a maker of global maps, specializing in artistic drawings, linking Europe to the United States. It has been customary to locate Ne Plus Ultra, accordingly. However, from my perspective, it reaches 2 Infinity... although some local yahoos and other hayseeds might mock it, saying otherwise. Trekking across the world in the right kind athletic shoes which have good support, is good for the mood, to say the least. It's worth considering that this would be the last insignia posted on the edge of the sole, showing in gold letters, the new location of the company's headquarters. Hmmm... Regardless, I like mine very much. Until we meet again..
