In my opinion don't get them because it might not be comfortable to do parkour with. You probably have to buy a special socks for them too.  Shoes that are labeled for parkour aren't always what they seem to be, so i would just get a pair of running shoes.  If you want them you can go ahead and get them.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the Xuvias were a concept shoe only and never put into production. So, I don't think you can buy a pair.

If, however, you are in the market for a pair of shoes for Parkour, take a look around the consumer boards. I'm sure you can find something you like. I recommend Puma Cabana Racer II's or any classic or retro style Asics.

I try to get the worst shoes possible... within reason of course. I dont like super grippy stuff, kills your technique. 15$ wal-mart shoes work just fine for me  ;)
