Louis Vuitton: Kanye’s Kicks for Chicks
Sunday, January 25th, 2009The Louis Vuitton Dons
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
Well, Kanye and a line-up of men in the Louis Vuitton Fashion Show in Paris were sporting the sneakers that he gave us a preview of not too long ago. Apparently, that’s all we’re gonna see for now.

Louis Vuitton Dons
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
If you watch this video from ConsTV, you’ll see a second pair of Kanye’s Louis Vuitton Sneaks. These ones are called… wait for it… “Louis Vuitton Dons”!!!
But first- couple things… first, I started watching this with my 5 year old sitting next to me- and well, don’t say I didn’t warn you about the language.
Second. It’s interesting, because I’d wondered who owned the SO Red Epi Christopher backpack that Don C blogged about a while back, saying “None B4 None 2 Come” and that Kanye mentioned in the Vanity Fair Best Dressed, when he said of his:
“Favorite fashion purchase of 2008: “A special-order red Epi leather Christopher backpack from Louis Vuitton.”
Anyway… that whole question gets cleared up in the clip.
Yep… as I suggested earlier, the first pair of kicks that we saw were reminiscent of a pair of Sperry Topsiders. These look more like lace-up vans. I do like the tall heel on the back though. In the vid, Kanye shows how they keep your jeans from dragging. My 5 year old needs some of that!
Kanye’s Louis Vuitton “Sneak” Peek
Friday, January 9th, 2009
They aren’t coming out till this June… but Kanye’s giving us a little preview of a pair of sneakers he’s designed for Louis Vuitton. (There’s five more coming…)
Funny, before seeing a close-up, I was thinking his trainers were a Keds/ lace-up Van’s hybrid. But, now I’m getting a major Sperry Topsider vibe. He’s obviously digging this look. What do you think?

Are these them?

He says they are. They look more like a Keds X lace-up Vans collaboration than a Kanye West X Louis Vuitton collaboration! But maybe he’s just pulling our collective legs, or maybe there’s more to see than what we see here.
Here’s the video from TMZ where he’s leaving Louis Vuitton on Rodeo Drive, where he talks about the shoes:
