Paris, June 23rd, 2023

To celebrate its Men’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, Christian Louboutin hosted a collection presentation followed by a party during Paris Fashion Week at Le Dernier Etage, an industrial rooftop terrace with a 360° stunning view of Paris.

Bathed in the pink sunset light of a Parisian summery night, the event was an invitation to time travel into the iconic 90s era and legendary years of basketball, at the heart of the designer’s inspiration for the reveal of its new sneakers: Astroloubi.

Introducing the Astroloubi : Christian Louboutin's new must-have sneaker

Haven’t you heard? There’s a new sneaker on the block and it’s as fresh as they come. Meet the Astroloubi! A bold, 90’s street-style inspired silhouette borrowing the aesthetic of the era’s iconic basketball and skate sneakers.

Launching in five colorways including 90’s brights, cool pastels and a pared-back minimalist version, each iteration comes in an exciting mix of materials and textures such as luxurious smooth calfskin leather, soft suede, sleek satin and laminated nappa.

The trimmings details, strong graphic lines, signature spikes on the back counter, ‘CL’ varsity logo on colorful outsole and that ubiquitous red sole, are all hallmark elements celebrating the Maison’s unique style. Featuring a sporty technical silhouette, the construction of the Astroloubi is bursting with innovations.

The studied assembly of the upper elements onto a stretch, lightweight, knitted tongue associated to the flexible sport’s lasting construction and light cupsole, will cradle and cushion your foot like never before.

Talking about comfort, our lightest low-top sneaker ever produced is, 20% lighter than its all-leather counterparts and, for the first time, granted a featherlight, breathable lycra-covered open foam Loubi red footbed as well as a durable, fast drying, red lining. Ballers need to bounce… They will fly!
