Kanye West x LV Official Pics

We've all been hearing the hype around this line. It's supposed to be bananas. I like LV I'd fuck with it, if I ever felt the need to forgo practicality in its entirety and indulge.

I digress, the shoes are a nice monochromatic crimson. Very subtle with the LV on the tongue and the monogram on the sole. If it weren't so monochromatic I would fucks with these, and if it wasn't priced so ridcolously. They come in a beige as well. No official word on price yet.

I'm surprised I got the jump on these; I guess my competition isn't as big as I thought.










Here's there Press release on these bad boys:

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.
