Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Boat Sneaker | Red Colorway

louis vuitton kanye west boat sneaker red Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Boat Sneaker | Red Colorway

After a first hint a couple of weeks ago we can show you a nice image of one of the Kanye West designed Louis Vuitton sneakers today in a red colorway.

“Marc Jacobs and the Louis Vuitton men’s studio director Paul Helbers have some design competition this season. Kanye West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. Only one design, above, was featured in the show — a monochromatic midtop with no frills, save for a quilted flap in the back, all the easier to tuck pants into. “The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune,’ ” West says. “Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.” West knows whereof he speaks: he says he has no idea how many shoes he owns, but he does know that he routinely needs to send shipments off to storage. The LV-meets-Kanye kicks will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June.” Via The Moment.

The shoes will be released in Louis Vuitton stores in June 2009.
