Kanye West Previews His Louis Vuitton Shoe Line

Kanye West just previewed one pair of loafer/sneaker designs he did for his Louis Vuitton shoe line.

“Time to crash your Internet server,” he wrote on his blog. “Here’s 1 one of the design’s [sic] I did for Louie [sic]… Sampled in white.”

“Can’t say too much of that though,” Kanye has said of his Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Shoes. “These [aren’t] coming out until June.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Kanye’s shoe line so far — HOT or NOT?

wow and im guessing those will be sold for at least $500, how the hell did he get to design shoes for louis vuitton, he is a vile pieve of sh*t., jesus you could get a pair like that for $50 from any store.

NOT!!! Seriously, I could have done that!! My husband has a pair of shoes from 1989 that I could spray paint white and they would match!! Celebrity’s are so overratted!!

Positively banal at best.

christyjolie @ 01/10/2009 at 1:00 pm

Pimp shoes

i love those shoes, very classy, but there’s nothing really new about them, they are the sneaker version of a standard yacht shoe. my dad has like 5 pairs of those (shoes not sneakers) for our sailing boat.

He’s such an idiot, he didn’t even spell the name Louis correctly on his blog. And I am tired of this celebrities designing things that look like crap, just like that shoe. I’ve seen better shoes at Payless.

if you’re not convinced, type yacht shoe in google and look at the images. that’s like the classic model.

What a tool. He is so full of himself, the $hit is coming out his ears.

gay maybe? @ 01/10/2009 at 1:18 pm

Look like hospital shoes.

defenitly hott! :D

Kanye’s certainly not lacking in self-confidence. Now if he just has the intelligence to go along with his confidence, he might actually be an interesting person. This way, he’s just plain conceited.

NOT…

HE’S RIDICULOUS. AND HAS NO TASTE…I DON’T THINK
KANYE & LOUIS VUITTON MATCH. HE’S A LOSER.

well they look like payless shoes. yes, i shop at payless cause i’m not spending $100 on shoes that i will only wear once or twice and i buy my kid’s shoes there cause she will end up growing out of them in a month or two. so if kayne is charging thousands of dollars for those very plain shoes then you can get the same version for $15 at payless lol

How much is he charging for them? Anyone who pays more than $50 for a pair of sneakers is nuts.

what’s so original about that? is that a prototype?
i expect great things from you kanye!

As a frequent shopper at LV, …that is so not..
how do i say this?

Pretty!
I think the monogram shoes are even better then those -and that says a lot.

Is it a sneaker of a loafer? ;)

HOT!! & i’m a girl so i wouldn’t wear them but i like them!!!!

lakers fan in boston @ 01/10/2009 at 3:55 pm

i dont see what’s so special about them
they dont even look that nice
even if it is louis vuitton i wouldnt buy it cuz i kinda hate kanye now
o the the shoelaces look stupid

BUCKmasterflash @ 01/10/2009 at 4:08 pm

Kanye is an arrogant prick, and 808’s is a rip off of t-pain and sucks. **** that stupid *******!!

Shemp lugosi @ 01/10/2009 at 4:54 pm

geeky shoes, wouldn’t be caught dead looking at anyone wearing them!

I think it sucks, who the f**k is he to design shoes for Louis Vuitton?????????

I don’t see whats so special about the shoes to be honest. Im not trying to be mean but they do look sneakers I could get at Macy’s for my dad. And who is willing to pay for soo much on these shoes anyways? Even if I don’t know the price tag but when its Louis Vuitton, there is no need for a price cause you know there going to be expensive.

I like them accept for that @ 01/10/2009 at 5:18 pm

part at the ankle. Good job K, and it would be foolish to say don’t let it go to your head.

I’d sooner go barefoot and homeless…

Fug just like him…..

Fug shoes. This is good for Kanye and awful for Vuitton, even if the shoes were hot.

holy hell that shoe is so crap! how much will he be selling that? I can see that kind walking almost everywhere and even better only sold for $30! this guy should evaluate himself, he thinks people adore him so much wow :)

interesting shoes

NOT! It’s just going to be over priced. IT looks like a regular old sneaker. He is making the luxurious LV house, an urban brand.

not hot
boring and plain
i can get white shoes at walmart

kiss of death..what was LV thinking hiring this low class wannabee rapper with no style..he just buys pricey stuff…and that suppose to be cool. I hope LV doesn’t go bankrupt now. such a unwise choice on their part. honestly he is not that handsome either. he’s kind of a douche.

NOT HOT!!! wtf he ruin louis vuitton name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***

I think I saw a pair of those in Payless Shoes…

Kanye has a huge ego, but he also has a lot of style. I wonder what the price of these will be. They seem cool.

What ugly shoes!!!

they look cheap…kind of like kanye…
he wants “less fans”…. why should “we” support his dive in to fashion/design. They look like the cheap copies of keds that some people buy at payless and walmart. .. or something you could buy from the trunk of a car on the side of the road.

Go away Kanye… your only further “patheticising” yourself… (no that isn’t a word..but I am sure he can figure out what it would mean if it were.)

why does every shoe that a rapper designs have to come out looking like a nike air force one… seriously these do not properly represent the brands name… I cant even imagine donald trump or some non-rapper millionare wearing these…these are just plain ol’ rapper shoes.

Miamiheat @ 01/11/2009 at 5:05 pm

Boring! looks as horrible as his singing!

nz SHOE FREAK @ 01/11/2009 at 7:52 pm

To those sheep who think this is a well thought out, attractive or original design - are you for real?!

Loafer & Boat Sneaker Unite or untie hmm…. KNOT NOT

All Who be saying that his shoes are simple and stupid … are ******* retarded ! You guys dont know **** about shoes then ! … Plus if you dont like this design … see the other ones ! … He made 5 other designs ! …

stupid asses ! ..

Kanye : Inspiration !
