Kanye Louis Vuitton Shoe Re-Confirmed


Earlier in the week we pieced together some evidence about Kanye West’s forthcoming Louis Vuitton sneaker, and it turns out we nailed it. Today The Louis Vuitton Don confirmed that indeed his first LV-designed sneaker is a simplistic white-on-white low-top.

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneaker Confirmed


Loose lips sink ships Mr. West. We’ve known that Kanye West has had a problem keeping his projects under-wraps in the past, (see Air Yeezy leaks 1-4567) now it seems the self-proclaimed Louis Vuitton Don has spilled the beans on the release date of his forthcoming Louis Vuitton-designed sneakers.

In this video dated a few days ago, TMZ caught a chipper Kanye coming out of the LV store in L.A, wearing the sneakers he designed for Louis Vuitton. As you’ll see in the video, Kanye confirmed to the cameraman that the sneakers he has on will release in June. We did a little investigating and found that Kanye was rocking the same white-on-white low tops while shopping in Los Angeles shortly after the video surfaced, all but confirming that the sneakers you’ll see after the jump are his highly hyped Louis Vuitton sneakers. Check more flicks of the sneakers below.

Kanye West 808s And Heartbreak AF1s


Like aspiring rappers, you could find sneaker customizers on every block. Some though, stand out from the rest like MACHE who hooked up these Air Force Ones with inspiration from Kanye’s latest album 808s and Heartbreak.

Using material similar to Kanye’s geeky-suit, and the imagery KAWS lended to the album art, MACHE made the ultimate collectible, for those who are bumping the auto-tuned heavy album. Oh, there’s even a shout-out to Dee and Rickey’s lego heart on the tounge. Check more detailed pics after the jump.
