Three months ago, Louis Vuitton announced the first details of its collaboration with Riot Games for an ongoing partnership surrounding League of Legends. Ten years ago, the world first recognized that catchy name as a multiplayer online game, but today, it’s grown into a global phenomenon for driving esports to the spotlight.
In October, the League of Legends World Championship hosted play-ins on group stages in Berlin, hosted the quarterfinals in Madrid, and in November, hosted the finals in Paris. For that, Louis Vuitton created an unprecedented one-of-a-kind Trophy Travel Case to hold the winner’s Summer’s Cup.

Today, the brand is elaborating on its partnership with Riot Games and League of Legends for a capsule collection unlike any other created by the house. Designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, this capsule features unique and original references true to the universes of League of Legends and Ghesquière’s personal inspirations. This collection also follows the pervious Prestige skins he created for Qiyana (which has already been revealed) and for Senna (which will be revealed next month).
The capsule collection is completed by ready-to-wear and accessories, as well as a handful of iconic shoe styles—like the Archlight sneakers, the Star trail boots, and the recent Beaubourg platform derby shoes.

Special for the partnership, as well, is a unique Louis Vuitton x League of Legends monogram canvas, revisited in some of the house’s iconic bags—including the Neverfull, the Speedy, the Boite Chapeau Souple, and the Bumbag. The Collection also features a new piece inspired by the League of Legends character Qiyana’s ring blade—first discovered on her Prestige Louis Vuitton skin.
