Louis Vuitton x Kanye West “Boat” Sneakers

With the release of the Kanye West For Louis Vuitton footweaar collection coming closer we can give you a look today at the boat sneakers. Coming with a similar base silhouette as the Don sneaker out of the collection, the main difference is on the front, where the sneaker has a clear boat shoe silhouette and tassles. The sneaker seems to be coming in all white and in grey/pink, the same colorway that we have already seen on a high top sneaker out of the collection. Images via BKRW.

Just like the rest of the collection, these should be hitting stores some time in June. More detailed images of the Louis Vuitton x Kanye West “Boat” Sneakers follow after the jump.

UPDATE: Kanye updates us on the above styles, which seem to be earlier samples. The actual production model features shorter tassles and a lower back, definitely the right choice.

  1. Im usually not a fan of boats, but these are pretty sick!

  2. Brian:

    haha, that’s strange. I’m a casual fan of boat shoes, and I think these are kinda ugly.

  3. g:

    uhmm…no

  4. 100 Watt Warlock:

    Absolutely hideous. Wretched. Woefully inadequate. Musically he fell off some time ago but now he’s ruining sneakers. You violating sun.
    BUT- my grandma will definitely cop.

  5. I think the shoes themselves are good. I could do without the tassles and the back flap is also too large. Otherwise good shoes. And I have to say it again – I am pretty sure most of this negativity comes because Kanye is involved and nobody want him to succeed in fashion.

    If you look at the regular LV shoe collection, the Kanye collection is looking way better. Thats what should be compared. What has LV done in the sneaker sector so far and what do we see here? The Kanye stuff is much more relevant and way better looking. Take the pink sole sneakers out of the equation and you have some solid footwear in there.

  6. Eddie:

    I think the tassels make the shoe personally. I love the white ones, bit rich for my blood though

  7. shoes is good….the question is only price, but i think. .. after 5-6 month chines bosses…will make a lot of fakes with the same quality… and 40% will forget about originality just for try kanye boots

  8. cb:

    these arent the actual shoes that are going to be released. these are old samples as kanye states on his blog: http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=226424_-1__0_~0_-1_3_2009_0_0&em3298=&em3282=&em3281=&em3161=

  9. Deez:

    Truly awful .. he should channel some of his arrogance into a little more hard work on this mess …

  10. Vince:

    Dear Lord…. Shocking!!!!!!
    Someone have stop him….
    Are those suppose to be Kids shoes????

  11. dancan:
