The Kanye West sneakers for Louis Vuitton will be hitting stores in June and today we can for the first time get a good overview of the line-up and especially get a closer look at the numerous high top sneakers that are part of the collaboration. The high tops come in both colorful variations and more subtle black and white tones, making the line overall very well balanced. Via BKRW.

  1. Kevin:

    These shoes are so ugly

  2. DIY:

    These sneaks fails hard

  3. I like them, especially the ones with less color. Clean design and at least as good as the other designer high tops out there.

  4. Ricki:

    I’ve just puked all over my cock!

  5. Spoonz20:

    really pitiful

  6. ; D:

    PURE GENIUS!

  7. Come on guys, constructive criticism, we are not in kindergarten.

  8. Nathan Toulouse:

    That first one looks like a child made a toy shoe out of ice cream, bubblegum, old Barbies and an Action Man space suit. And not in a good way either. It just has way, way too much crap on it.

  9. total crap
    but shit sells

  10. I gotta say again, the ones without all the strange colors, tonal uppers, look good.

  11. CK:

    I like the the ones with the straps especially pink soled high top. The Stussy Dunk colorway isn’t bad either. But if they sell for 600-800 $ a pair I don’t think these will be a great success. But I bet there will be fakes out very soon that will sell for 200 bucks :D

  12. shitty retro dork:

    HEY I KINDA DIG THE CREAM JOINTS…BUT THE REST??? ANOTHER OVERATED KANYE WEST THING????

    C’MON DUDE!!!!

  13. dex653:

    you guys see the posts on hypebeast? there’s a lot of love compared to when they were first posted. a little suspect to me.

  14. parker:

    all you guys are fags for talking bad about these you know these are the shit and if i had the cash i would easily spend five six hundred on em fuck i might save it up at my 7 dollar an hour job

  15. BOYBOY:

    half you faggets on here just come to leave corny ass comments , be real with ya selves its funny how everything they post something about kanye it gets the most comments , like yall scared to say he gets it in with his work. smh
    kanye is the only one whos really puttin in work with everything . . .

  16. The white/pink arent that bad. and the same goes for the grey or charcoal joints. I prefer the low tops to these though.

  17. Chris:

    idk if its just me.
    but the pink/brown/tan/etc. high/low color ways
    remind me of his album artwork on cd\\\’s which are straight classic.
    808\\\’s…not so much lol
    def. cops.

  18. Brooks:

    The dark grays look like orthopedics. On that grandpa tip. I guess ‘Ye is going for that “really grown ass man” look.

  19. A.S.:

    I agree. The tonal high tops & lows are cool. Hot pink sole, pink & brown upper, not so much.

  20. BIG JOEY:

    QUIT B.S.ING. all you dudes trying to defend kanye can save it. dudes went soooo corny a while ago (quit jokin\

  21. rob:

    sooooo sick if they were $350 or less i would cop but since they will likely be $600+ i can only dream

  22. kiko:

    i really cant see anyone who can actually afford louis buying these the only ones that actually look wearable the all white one look nice and clean though cant stand the pastry looking colorway.

  23. constructive criticism? how about this? kanye should give up making sneakers because he sucks at it. almost as much as he sucks at making music or whatever that crap is he\’s putting out. what do you expect people to say about this talentless ego maniac who spends half of his life telling us how great he is? when he does something worth criticizing then we can say something constructive. i mean seriously who the hell are we talking about here?

  24. josef:

    LOL halfmonk… sooo true…

  25. BOUDET:

    lulzz those who gonna got those should be killed with fire at least.

  26. Vincent:

    Am I the only person who can\’t understand what LVMH get out of this collab? I\’m sure Kayne will be making $$$\’s out of this but all they get are sneakers that won\’t be worn by their regular customers (due to being badly designed) and won\’t be worn by Kanye fans (what 16 year old McDonalds burger-flipper can afford $600 shoes?). In my mind it just devalues the LVMH brand…

  27. For LVMH? The idea is always the same, opens a new demographic to them. People that are into Kanye will try to buy these sneakers and maybe did not know or appreciate Vuitton before. Its the same idea why they worked with Pharrell on jewelry. And even if not so many people buy the sneakers, just look at the amount of publicity they already got for it. One reason why I believe that they will sell a lot of the sneakers, is that their regular sneakers REALLLLY SUCK. LV pattern all-over, basically unwearable. Whatever you might think about these Kanye designed sneakers, they are way better than the regular LV sneaker line-up.

  28. And i also believe, if these sneakers here would not be designed by Kanye, we would see a lot less bitching and suddenly more people would be into it, the ones that now dont want to be into them, simply because Kanye is involved.

  29. fuego all day. could\’ve done without the tassels, otherwise gimme mine in black size 10.

  30. bro, when someone spouts like a bitch looking for attention all the time like kanye does he better know he\\\’s gonna get some shit. question, did he actually design them or did someone do it for him? more to the point, the shoes are over-designed regardless of who did them.

    bro, when someone spouts like a bitch looking for attention all the time like kanye does he better know he\\\\\\\\\\\\’s gonna get some shit.

    throwing stones in glass houses dude? The fact of the matter is, kanye has been calling himself the louis vuitton don since his first album…and since then he\\\’s basically grown into arguably the biggest star in music…so of course this was going to happen at some point….and even if they sell one pair its job done because as the number of posts here show they advertise themselves.
    personally, i think they\\\’re gonna move like shit off a shovel, because of the fact that people who like these shoes and read this blog will put in an extra effort to piss off haters like the honourable \\

  32. vincenzo:

    2 words … EPIC FAILURE!

  33. Auto Tune:

    these are $960 YES NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS AT THE LV STORE.

    HAHAHAHA.

    $960.00

  34. if u dont like the shoe, why are u commenting on it. obviously u have a problem with kanye and since u wont tell him to his face(not that you’ll get the chance), you’re goin take it out on his shoes?? what?? grow da fuck up

  35. dogans:

    the pink ones are dope yalls .

    mos definately tryna cop .

  36. SpaceNathz:

    pretty cool but could\’ve been better !

    KANYE YOU GOT SWAY WHAT R U DOING?

  37. Err...:

    @J. Walker: “if u dont like the shoe, why are u commenting on it”.

    Um, I think people are commenting on it BECAUSE they don’t like it. It’s called criticism, not hating. If your whole persona is based around arrogance and aggressive self-promotion, you can’t expect people to take it quietly when you try to sell them ridiculously overpriced, massively over-designed products that have nothing to do with your actual area of expertise. P.S. I think ‘growing da fuck up’ would probably involve ceasing to obsess over your idols like a pre-pubescent schoolgirl.

  38. yo yall dudes is just hatin on kanye smh y\\\’all no them toes wit the pink bottoms is all crazy fleet!!!! N when u see everybody scoopin em u gon want em too n they 960 too yes now can b the only dude in my hood that has em

  39. mikee fresh:

    i dont care what you guys think, IM BUYING THESE

  40. Chunga:

    I like the ones with the large strap on top, but not in that grey/pink sole/brown colorway. Not also a big fan of how the laces fray out after the gold band. If that model was offered in the same colorway as the other ones on the bottom (eggshell/white sole or the black/white sole) I would consider it. But for 960 bucks I could buy 3 other pairs by other brands that are of equal or better design.

  41. [...] Nothing says upper-class angst like bright colored designer high tops. These are so ugly, but that probably means they’ll end up being cool and featured in magazines and music videos. This is just going to inflate West’s ego even more. Hopefully his balloon head will float him back to his home planet before he can create any more fugly designs.source. [...]

  42. Ryan P:

    @Err..

    Um… Kanye doesn’t actually chose the prices… He just designed the shoe…

  43. Kanyevil:

    im in love with those sleek stylish …u gotta love them and fuck taylor swift
