Spike Lee switched his signature sneakers for a more formal shoe in New York City this week. While attending a New York Knicks basketball game against the Boston Celtics, the “Do The Right Thing” director took a different shoe route with orange velvet Louis Vuitton smoking slippers. The slip-on pair featured almond-shaped toes and yellow embroidery of wings surrounding an “LV” logo. Lee coordinated his footwear with an orange and blue beaded necklace, as well as a black velvet fedora, to match the Knicks’ team colors. The round-toe loafers featured a curved vamp with dipping edges and a flat block heel in a silhouette also known as a smoking slipper. Marrying a loafer and a slipper, this design dates back to the 1800s and is rumored to have earned its name thanks to its comfortable blend of a house shoe and outdoor design — perfect for stepping into the parlor or on the porch for a smoke. “No Jordan’s For Tonight’s Season Opening Game At Da Garden For Our Beloved New York Knickerbockers. Dis Season Iz Gonna Be Nuthin’ But [O]RANGE And [B]LUE SKIES,” Lee captioned a photo of his game night accessories on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared
