Sneaker-wise, 2009 is shaping up to be a very productive year for Mr. Kanye West. In November 2008, we learned that the highly-anticipated Nike Air Yeezy will be released in March 2009. In addition, Mr. West unveiled his Louis Vuitton Don earlier today (releasing in June). Both sneakers have been receiving rave reviews and are considered sneakers to look out for in ’09.

With that said, which highly-anticipated Kanye West sneaker interest you the most? There is only one way to settle this dilemma…Footwear Faceoff! Click here to vote and make your voice heard!

I agree with 49 — unless the price is right– tan ones are fresh!

Saying whether which shoe is better is like comparing apples and oranges. One is a sportier, more athletic looking. The other is a dressier, classier sneaker. I would say the Yeezy for on the court appeal or just out and around. The Dons are for occasions when you just want to impress.

this is like asking would you prefer to spread cat sh*t or dog sh*t on your feet – both horrible.

dem yeezys hard especially da orange and blue ones but dem white dons are clean and Louis Vuitton soooooooo
navi
i like them both equally. the yeezys have that retro jordan look and the dons have that casual upscale look….any one realize that there are two different dons? one is the once thats being shown and the other is more of a sail/harbor shoe….wonder how many shoes is ganna have thru LV
PNelson
Man Them tan Air Yezzy’s on point the LV Dons aight still a nice lookin shoe I rock both of them
D truth
EVRYONES GOING TO SAY THE LV LOOKS BETTER THAN THE NIKES BECAUSE WHO WOULDN’T RATHER ROCK LV THAN NIKE. ANYBODY WITH TRUE SWAG KNOWS THE RIGHT ANSWER!

auditude

Classick
The hate this cat is creating with these shoes n arrogance as of late is drawing lines, and its not about money. Its about going out Micheal Jackson , weirding out to where the people that count don’t feel you anymore or your shoes regardless of designer. When I cope the shoe and its a 400.00 more than the original LV’s (which is a marketed womens brand)its a joke. You can’t hate the truth therefore it cannot be hate. Kaws is nasty, let him make a shoe. But this ….its a space boot.
BIG D
def the yeezys
ab
I pass on both. I wouldnt’ want to be caught in shoes representing such a jerk.
