Kanye West Designed Louis Vuitton Sneakers

 

Kanye West can finally call himself a fashion designer with the unvailing of his Louis Vuitton sneakers at the Louis Vuitton men's show in Paris yesterday.

West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show told WWD, "We started from the sole. We made it light weight and flexible, so you can bend it…. I was inspired by the movie “Dune” because, as you know, I love sci-fi…. The collection had all these jackets that were very padded. They looked like maybe they had hockey pads in the jacket, and there was one where the collar came up really high. I took that element and I put that on the back of the shoe. It’s like the opposite of the tongue. Usually you have the tongue at the front. [This is] like a tongue at the back."

The Kanye West designed LV sneakers will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June.
