Earlier this month Kanye West had people going crazy on his blog and other blogs alike when he leaked a photo of a sample sneaker of his collaboration with prestigious fashion brand Louis Vuitton. Then the other day over in Paris at the Louis Vuitton show it was unveiled to the public. The one unveiled was all red, one of two of my favorite colors. The shoe looks fresh I must say, I would go right out and buy it but for right now Chet is not paying Louis Vuitton prices. All in all Kanye really seems to be into this fashion thing and not doing it as a mere hobby. I 'm telling you, DREAM BIG and WORK at it and it will come tru. The press release for the sneaker is below.
PARIS — Marc Jacobs and the Louis Vuitton men’s studio director Paul Helbers have some design competition this season. Kanye West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. Only one design, above, was featured in the show — a monochromatic midtop with no frills, save for a quilted flap in the back, all the easier to tuck pants into. “The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune,’ ” West says. “Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.” West knows whereof he speaks: he says he has no idea how many shoes he owns, but he does know that he routinely needs to send shipments off to storage. The LV-meets-Kanye kicks will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June.
