Filipino-made ballet sneakers worn by Blackpink's Lisa during 'Born Pink' tour

Global K-pop superstar Lisa of Blackpink was seen wearing Filipino-made ballet sneakers during the group's 'Deadline' tour in Singapore.

The chrome-colored sneakers are from the independent Filipino brand GVN, which costs P2,900 and is available for pre-order worldwide.

A member of Lisa's team contacted GVN just days before Blackpink's Manila shows, requesting to borrow the sneakers.

GVN initially felt skeptical but decided to send the pair, hoping it might be used.

The brand later confirmed Lisa wore their sneakers onstage through fan videos, describing it as a 'pinch-me moment'.

This appearance brings significant global recognition to the Philippine footwear brand, which also makes leather bags and laptop sleeves.
