Christian Louboutin collaborates with SportyHenri.com to make celebratory outfit for Cuban Olympic delegation for Rio Games

Renowned shoemaker Christian Louboutin taps the Rio 2016 Olympics fever by designing the celebratory outfit for the Cuban national delegation. Teaming up with French E-concept store SportyHenri.com - devoted to men's sportswear - the designer takes Cuban heritage and the wearers as sources of inspiration to create the non-performance outfit which will be worn by more than 100 Cuban elite athletes at formal occasions such as the closing ceremony.

Christina Louboutin elevates his long-time inspiration from sports and combines it with the professional athletic experience of Henri Tai, founder of Sporty Henri.

Custom fittings are provided after consultations with present Cuban athletes and former Olympians to create a unique and chic Cuban style without compromising comfort.
