Once upon time, Roger Vivier adopted the iconic buckle in his designs and made it his own personal emblem. Then the buckle met the white sneaker and it was love at first sight. The fruit of this amalgamation is called the Sneaky Viv’, a pioneering act in the Roger Vivier shoe collection. This wondrous creation blends edginess with sophistication.

The combination is as simple as a white or black patent leather shoe adorned with a Pilgrim buckle made of baguette-sized crystals. It’s as if the wearer was making a casual statement while creating a chic jewel-like aura.

Looking for something different? The sneakers are also available with a side zip, featuring a multi-coloured leather appliqué flowers model.

When asked about the Sneaky Viv’ collection, Bruno Frisoni commented “Today sneakers have become inevitable in a woman’s or a man’s wardrobe, and like jeans they have the power to make our sometimes over sophisticated look, be more democratic or less dramatic. With strass buckle or without, they are the alternative, always sexy and surely street chic, very Vivier”.
