Luxury shoemaker Jimmy Choo has unveiled its first range of trainers.

Made from exotic purple snakeskin, patent leather and silver suede, these sneakers combine a hint of old school trainer style with a glamorous cool look.

The 8 designs are being snapped up so quickly, however, that a lengthy waiting list has been set up in advance of their arrival next month on jimmychoo.com.

The style label that brought women the 10cm heel will soon also be stocking more comfortable wear, but at a price.

The Jimmy Choo sneakers have gold eyelets, exotic skins and star-print soles and will be launched in May, according to The Times.

The designer’s pre-fall 2010 collection features eight athletic-wear styles that will run about $473 for low tops, and $633 for the high-top looks.

Jimmy Choo and the Elton John AIDS Foundation have launched the Project PEP collection to support the Simelela Rape Centre in South Africa.

The vibrant capsule collection features a distinctive and collectible punk rock motif print representing Jimmy Choo’s passionate and individualist spirit.

By utilizing the fall trend going overseas into the Safari, the brand plays with snake skin and zebra print to liven up their palette.

Also, added to the range, mid and knee-high boots and lots of studs, patent later, suede and mesh. Selected items are now available online.

This autumn, British accessory brand Jimmy Choo will bring its international glamour and covetable shoes and bags to selected H&M stores.

The collection will be available from November 14 in around 200 stores across the world.

It is the first time that H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, and to celebrate Jimmy Choo will extend its design vision for this collection to women’s clothing to complement the accessories.
