She is known as the first lady of fashion and it seems as though Michelle Obama is keen to live up to her reputation.

The wife of US president Barack Obama stepped out in a pair of Lanvin trainers which cost around £360 as she volunteered at a charity food bank in Washington.

A product of the French couture house famous for its fabulous evening frocks, the trainers are made of grey suede and have a metallic pick toe with white sole.

They are also available in denim and satin and are proving to be popular as they have sold out in many New York stores.

Ms Obama teamed her pair with some grey three-quarter length trousers and a white and yellow cardigan for the charity event.

Kanye West is another celebrity with a well-documented love of trainers – the rapper has recently collaborated with Nike to produce his own pair.
