By now, most of you have seen the line-up of sneakers created by Kanye West for Louis Vuitton. These include Jaspers, Loafers and the Don. Those are named after Kanye's good friends, who are designers in the high end fashion sector. Opinions vary on the outcome of the collection. Everyone always compared the line to what Louis Vuitton has done in the past with sneakers, and i 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, i prefer the line up of high tops, along with the loafers (boat shoes). Also David Fischer from Highsnobiety had the chance to field test them and stated 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? now thats buzy!! 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 up coming weeks, so they did something out of the ordinary with the footwear given for this special shoot. Teaming 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, they 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. hmmm it's ok in my opinion
