Thank you to American Girl Doll News for first sighting these sneakers--and her speculation that they might be for Luciana.
Luciana's Shoes?
The "galaxy" print is similar to Luciana's meet dress. Additionally, they look like probable candidates for her Space Camp Outfit with the Green Flight jacket combo image--the basic shape and hint of color hue are the same. But until we see more images to confirm these are Luciana's, they also could be a rejected prototype or belong to a different Truly Me outfit.
I love the print and color of the shoes. However, I am not a fan of the rough and unfinished canvas but canvas uppers are still a step above all molded plastic shoes as with the new TrulyMe meet outfit.
I am also disappointed by the lack of metal eyelets and cheap elastic instead of laces for the shoes. This cheap sneaker design has been a trend in AG canvas sneakers for a few years now and as recently in one of Z Yang's outfits. Remember some of the ornate and ultra-realistic sneakers of AG-yesteryear with faux suede uppers, metal eyelets, laces, and complex molded soles?

The sneakers that came with the cargo outfit back in 2000 are outstanding. My very favorite pair of AG sneakers.
