That resulted in the sneaker being suitable for a track runner but designed with the luxurious leather craftsmanship of <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/fashion-news\/fashion-features\/nicolas-ghesquieres-new-york-cruise-2027-keith-haring-1238974715\/\" id=\"related_article_link_louis-vuitton-2\" data-tag=\"louis-vuitton-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Louis Vuitton<\/a> shoes. The Buttersoft sneakers feature hand-stitched and hand-painted elements for an extra refined, near-tailored approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe shoes feature a springy, layered rubber outsole and ultra soft suede calf leather upper that comes in a bright rose and white colorway, reflecting J-Hope\u2019s warm and cheerful personality. The shoes are decorated with wide, woven laces that are printed on their ends with the words \u201cYour, My Hope,\u201d in reference to the artist\u2019s stage name and hopeful attitude.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LOUIS_VUITTON_X_j-hope_LV_BUTTERSOFT_SNEAKER_STILL_LIFE_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"1024\" width=\"819\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe laces are strung with a decorative cloche-cl\u00e9. The keybell comes in a Monogram canvas, which references both Louis Vuitton leather goods and the Korean trend of accessorizing everyday items. A textile label derived from the Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 bag is adapted to footwear, appearing on the tongue\u2019s underside. A leather patch on the tongue\u2019s outside is embossed with the capsule\u2019s dedicated logomark, featuring the Louis Vuitton Paris stamp and J-Hope\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/louis-vuitton-jhope-butter-soft-sneakers.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"556\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe shoe features leather engravings on the heel and toe that echo those on Louis Vuitton\u2019s iconic luggage and bags, while the design also integrates many personal details. Squirrel and acorn emblems are found embossed beneath the natural leather trim at the back of the heel, which are a secret inside joke fandom detail recognizable to diehard fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tJ-Hope joined the Louis Vuitton family as a house ambassador in 2023. The collaboration was first unveiled in December 2025, had a prelaunch in South Korea starting March 25, and will culminate in a worldwide launch of the exclusive J-Hope LV Buttersoft Sneaker, which drops on Thursday. The shoes are available for purchase now, and retail for $1,740.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Louis Vuitton, its menswear creative director Pharrell Williams, and J-Hope came together to deliver a new 2000-inspired shoe,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12704],"tags":[16760,2773,4955],"class_list":["post-22647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-louis-vuitton","tag-bts","tag-louis-vuitton","tag-lvmh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
