Viola Amherd opted for black leather pumps during the Ukraine Peace Conference, organized by Switzerland, which took place last weekend in Bürgenstock (NW). Normal. A few hours before the official opening of the summit, the President of the Confederation was already hard at work in the palace overlooking Lake Lucerne. At the time, the 62-year-old centrist was wearing sneakers. This is the Bouncing model, created by Hermès. It is indicated by two Hs on the sole. This detail, visible in the videos published by the minister on Instagram (post below)was spotted by the Zurich site Inside Paradeplatz.
The price oscillates between 770 and 920 francs on the French house’s website and is established according to the variation of the model (materials and colors). Contacted by “20 Minuten”, the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports indicates that the sneakers worn by Viola Ahmerd are a birthday gift from her sister. This edition in electric blue and orange is no longer available at Hermès, but you can find it for a little over 400 francs on second-hand item sales platforms.
Even though this type of luxury product is unaffordable for most consumers, the price remains much lower than that of the most expensive sneakers in the world. A pair of Jordan XIIIs worn and signed by Michael Jordan during the second game of his last NBA final, in 1998, was sold for $2.2 million (1.95 million francs) in April 2023 at Sotheby’s.
