Kanye West for Louis Vuitton

Photobucket

So the self-proclaimed, "Louis Vuitton Don", Mr. Kanye West has begun to materialize his dreams of designing. Mr. West who seems to have a rather intense passion for the world of all things fashionable has been more than adamant about pursuing this goal to match his already extensive musical credentials. While I am a huge fan of the egotistical musical phenomenon, I sometimes question his style choices...not very often mind you...I love when artists are so out of the box that they seem somewhat maniacal!

Released are the photos and the even more controversial confirmed prices for the footwear collection that he has designed for Louis Vuitton. Honestly, I'm not quite sure as to what folks were expecting, after all these still bear the logo and moniker of one the most respected luxury labels in the industry. Coupled with the input of a Grammy-Award winning artist, throw in a LV and what I'm assuming will be a limited edition collection, you can only expect to dole out top dollar! These are not for the recession bargain specialists!

Naturally, The Shoenista being all about great taste...champagne over beer anyday honey, with simply soda pop money...just adores the Jasper style for $1140, with the pink sole and tassled laces. A fine detail to a sporty shoe. Those are the thousand dollar details you pay LV for!!! LOL...a mess!

Anywho, here are a couple of other Louis Vuitton sneaker styles for the fellas if Mr. West's creative juices didn't necessarily whet your appetite...Enjoy!
