Kanye West for Louis Vuitton
 A couple weeks ago, Kanye posted a sample from his sneaker collaboration with Louis Vuitton. Although there are supposed to be five models in the works, we have an official look at one that made an appearance at a recent LV show.
The shoe is a monochromatic low top with a dramatic heel flap inspired by a jacket from the movie, Dune. Other details include a mixture of suede and premium leather uppers and LV monograms on the midsole. There are no pricing details, but you’ll be able to find them at Louis Vuitton stores in June. Take a closer look after the jump. Via Hypebeast. |

Ya know what.. these are actually very nice.. very simplistic but with a modern touch. I’m going for the black and the white ones.. only thing that may hold me back will be the price, but they are still worth it.

To: Mr. Kanye West
It is indeed troubling to me that people, our own young and old have become the subject of an artificial assimilation well crafted in a grand scale as an “Magnum Opusâ€, it is unfortunate to note by the many comments, some which are in many ways absurd and the direct product of the inefficiency of critical thinking that suggests that: “We will always accept the mental bondage that will forever keep us away from what is real and truth, and help us admit in an apparent gentle but well concealed forceful manner our self-defeat”. Men like Mr. Kanye West, that in the “first and last name†of his self-declared creative genius has not at all rendered an ounce of honesty and respect for himself and the people who´s fragile and disturb minds follows his conceited and obtuse lead into a path to self-destruction and delusion, despite his ordinary style and common knowledge of the exterior look of beauty he has ceased to exalt the inner values that perhaps in times long forgotten he was subject to during his childhood within the walls of a secure household full of love and decency, today, a great majority of these same people that in spite of the great differences in upbringings with this leader (Mr. Kanye West) identify themselves with his compromised ideal, and make sacrifices and hostile acts in pursue of the material happiness to imitate a man who does not even understand the essence of what he does, however declares himself with grandiose arrogance as an ambassador of style with companies such as Lois Vuitton (LV) the same French family that supported the infamous traitor (Phillipe Pétain) the same French General who aided the Nazis during WWII.
It is time for Mr. Kanye West to accept his responsibility of his role influencing the lives of those who observe him as a model to copy and imitate, just as he does by copying ideas for his music and for his questionable notion of style, since creativity itself is a mental process based on the association of ideas or concepts already in existence.
Sincerely,
