Louis Vuitton has been roasted over an expensive pair of trainers that cost around 80 times more than a similar looking pair produced by Lidl.
The fashion house’s LV Trainer, which was designed by the late designer Virgil Abloh, contains flashes of the budget supermarket’s iconic blue, red and yellow.
Their signature LV initials logo is emblazoned on the trainers, while the outsole is “debossed with Monogram Flowers”.
The shoes are said to take seven hours to hand-stitch and cost a whopping £960.
And many have joked that the trainers look similar to ones previously on sale at Lidl supermarkets up and down the country.
The budget supermarket released its own line of branded trainers, with the same blue, red and yellow colours taking centre stage.
Punters flooded to stores to get their hands on the shoes, which came in at a more wallet-friendly £12.99.
Many of the trainers later surfaced on websites such as eBay, with sellers trying to flog the gutties for hundreds of quid.
Lidl quickly made light of the comparison with Louis Vuitton over social media.
One tweet read: “Nearly 100x the price. Minus 100000x the style.”
Shoppers also joined in the on the fun soon after.
One customer wrote: “You contacting the lawyers @LidlGB? Might want to ask @AldiUK."
Another added: “Lidl’s trainers eventually selling for £1,000 on eBay.”
