Luxury fashion brands have taken notice that sneaker culture runs deep and close to the heart of their consumers. With this, they have taken on adding sneakers to their catalogs, capitalizing on trends such as the chunky wave, the hightop, and perhaps a favorite old past time, rollerblading. 

Savana is a line of sporting good from Hermès, which includes a 2-in-1 system where the sneaker pictured includes removal wheels, to also be used for rollerblading. The sneaker itself is a hightop all white sneaker with premium leather and calfskin. This definitely looks like a sneaker anyone could pull off if you had the dollars to spare - causal yet luxury. The insole is more busy with a jungle theme, including a monkey, a lion and some tropical tree leaves. Perhaps to suggest running free in the wild, rollerblading through the town. 

These sneakers can be worn without the wheels, as everyday sneakers - if your everyday pair of sneakers were Hermès. Or, you can add on the hardware, and skate through the town. An interesting play here. Definitely out of my price range, but I would like to go for a nice rollerblade session with the weather changing to our favor lately.
