“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.” Via The Moment.
Now, Kanye West teases us with his third design of six from his highly anticipated sneaker line with LV. Check out the notable features like the two large velcro straps and the pink midsole. Kanye Kanye, o how we don ye. Keep it up because I can't get enough of the quilted flap in the back so that we can keep our whole outfit in tip top form.
