Drake “Best I Ever Had” Video Directed by Kanye West

Toronto based rapper Drake has released his debut music video for the hit single “Best I Ever Had.” Directed by Kanye West, the video strays somewhat from the lyrical subject matter, but with a recent signing to Lil Wayne’s Young Money record label, it’s safe to say things are only looking up from here.

Kanye West x Takashi Murakami Aluminum Bear Sculpture

After recently working with Pharrell Williams on a sculpture that ended up selling for over 2 Million USD at Art Basel, we get a look at a Kanye West x Takashi Murakami aluminium sculpture that is currently being exhibited at the gallery Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris. They turned the Takashi Murakami bear mascot, made for one of Kanye West’s album into a gold figure and the outcome is really nice actually.

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneaker Collection | The Complete Line-Up

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneaker Collection | The Complete Line-Up

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.

kanye feature post 540x412 Feature: Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Footwear Photoshoot

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.

Take a look at all images from the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Footwear Photoshoot here.
