Kanye x Louis Vuitton, Kanye x Louis Vuitton! Yup again, Mr. West was in the studio with his entourage Kid Cudi, Don. C, and Consequence when he took off his LV samples and showed them to the camera. The fashionable braggart made it known that the sneakers will not only be stamped with LV on them, but will also feature his intials KW. This is chess not checkers, what’s Nike’s next move? “Nike already don’t like me, dress like I’m hypebeast”. Touche.

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.
