November 8th Ibn Jasper celebrated his birthday at Guys and Dolls in Los Angeles. At the party he also previewed for the first time his upcoming collaborative hat with Quintin. The cap was designed to match the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Jasper high top sneakers. It comes in black suede with almost no branding. Look out for a release on December 15th at RSVP Gallery in Chicago.

More images of the party and the caps follow after the jump.

http://www.vimeo.com/5373691The video for Mr. Hudson’s new single ‘Supernova’ has been released. The lyrics and cinematography and great, and the timing couldn’t be better, as the Kanye West designed Louis Vuitton shoe bearing his name drops today. Mr. Hudson’s forthcoming album ‘Straight No Chaser’ hits stores this October. Enjoy!

The Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneaker Collection will be officially released in LV stores globally tomorrow, July 1st. Last week we showed you our photoshoot, as well as a video that we shot of part of the collection. Today you get a complete look at the collection – all three models in all colorways.

As mentioned before by us, we are actually more than satisfied with the outcome of the collection, both in terms of design and in terms of quality. When we had the shoes in the office we had a lot of people come through to check them out and opinions vary widely, with most people actually liking the outcome. The tastes also go in completely opposite directions, with some people loving the flashy pink sole and others prefering the more subtle tonal styles in the collection. We belong to the second group. Quality is really on point, with all sneakers featuring butter soft leather uppers and some nice details. The Hudson boat shoe is our personal favorite, next to the tonal high top sneakers. We find the large heel flap on the low tops a little strange to be honest, but that is just our personal opinion. All in all a very solid collection of sneakers. Make sure to pass through a close by LV store to see them live, it’s well worth it.

We can safely say that until now you have not seen the footwear in so much detail, so make sure to take a look at the complete Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneaker Collection, consisting of the Don, Jasper and the Hudson, after the jump.

Yesterday we presented to you our Louis Vuitton x Kanye West Footwear Photoshoot. We had worked with a lot of colors, adding some psychadelic flavors to the collection. To follow up on the photo spread, we show you today a viral video that we produced. The video has a much cleaner appearance, matching the design of the footwear. The release of the sneakers is just around the corner. Louis Vuitton stores around the globe are already taking reservations. Once again, we hope that you enjoy it!

By now, most of you have seen the line-up of sneakers created by Kanye West for Louis Vuitton. Opinions vary on the outcome of the collection. We’ve always compared the line to what Louis Vuitton has done in the past with sneakers, and think the Kanye West collection beats those efforts by leaps and bounds. Just like in the regular sneaker game, some people like it more colorful, others like it more subtle, and this line-up offers something for both tastes. Personally, we prefer the tonal high tops. We also had the chance to field test them and can tell you that quality and fabrication are very much on point, as to be expected from Louis Vuitton.

Having worked recently with Nike on the Air Yeezy, the LV collection is the second major sneaker project by Kanye West. Take a step back and think about what is happening here – we see collaborations all the time with boutiques, brands, artists and other creative fields. How many times can the colors and the materials on the same shoe silhouette be changed and still look new and different from the hundreds of releases we see every year? Kanye West got to design his very own silhouettes in both cases, probably the most impressive part about these projects.

With the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton sneakers releasing worldwide in the coming weeks, we wanted to do something out of the ordinary with the footwear Louis Vuitton gladly lent us for this special shoot. We teamed up with German photographer Daniela Muller-Brunke to shine some new light onto the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton collection. To give you some background on the shoot, we used the iconic LV symbols and projected them in different colors onto the background of the sneaker, with the outcome being a psychedelic mix of fading colors. Hopefully you like it.
