Louis Vuitton takes their street style up a notch
with help from multi award-winning musician Kanye West. Released just recently,
the sneaker collaboration brings together the gritty urbanite flair of West and
the skilled craftsmanship of the French fashion connoisseurs.
As a fashion maven and sneaker aficionado
himself, West had previously honed his design chops at Nike. This time round,
he brings his considerable experience to Louis Vuitton, designing sneakers dressy
enough for a night out, yet retaining a distinct urban edge.
Made from suede, calfskin or a patchwork of
leathers, the collection will boast three primary designs- Don’s, Jaspers and
Mr. Hudson- which share signature details such as a high padded heel flap and a
Monogram flower-embossed outsole.
Other eclectic embellishments include suede
tassels on Jaspers and a ramrod straight tongue on Don’s.
