These $500 high-fashion sneakers are the ultimate status symbol for top tech CEOs
Members of the Silicon Valley elite are lacing up sneakers from a Parisian luxury fashion brand that cost more than most people's monthly grocery bill.
High-fashion house Lanvin makes chunky, low-top sneakers favored by tech heavyweights like Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Google cofounder Larry Page. The shoes have a suggested retail price between $495 and $595.
Take a look at how the brand became a household name in an industry where professionals aren't always known for their fashion sense.
